78: Zombie Army

I didn't expect these people to still be stuck at the Rank C Intermediate exam stage.

That makes sense; everyone isn't good at water combat, so they were delayed for a bit longer.

Little Security Guard said, "Start the Rank C exam!"

system panel: "Exam loading!"

The ocean before his eyes disappeared.

Replaced by an endless desert.

The sun was scorching, and yellow sand stretched on endlessly.

As a heatwave hit, Little Security Guard felt like he was being soaked in hot water.

The floating system panel prompted: "Rank C Elementary exam starting!"

In the distance, where the desert met the sky, some black dots kept emerging.

As they got closer, it turned out to be a large horde of zombies.

When they got closer, he could see clearly that it was actually a zombie army.

Wearing the attire of ancient Egyptian soldiers!

White cloth on the upper body, skirt-like garments on the lower body.

system panel prompted: "The first round is against the ancient Egyptian army!"

Damn, is there something wrong with how this question is set up?

How can one person defeat an army?

Even a small army would be tough to handle!

It seems these zombies' combat power is clearly stronger than Elementary zombies.

Little Security Guard counted; the ancient Egyptian army formation was roughly divided into three parts.

At the very front were horse-drawn charioteers, responsible for breaking through the enemy formation.

The second formation was infantry, responsible for sweeping the enemy camp.

The third formation was archers, who shot arrows from a distance before the battle started.

There were about one hundred charioteers and one hundred archers, and about five hundred infantry.

Little Security Guard laughed, "No matter how many zombies you have, I have the ability to control ice and water."

He reached out to grab moisture from the air, preparing to condense Ice Daggers.

This grab, however, came up empty.

It turned out this was a desert environment with dry air; where would there be any moisture?

He quickly checked the small amount of ice weapons in his space; there were too many enemies, it wouldn't be enough, and besides, these were for saving his life!

Better not use them for now.

He still hadn't used the ability to control Spirit Stone!

He wondered if there were stones in this desert?

He quickly activated the 【Summon Spirit Stones】 ability and detected a large expanse of stones beneath the yellow sand.

The zombie archers' long-range arrow attacks were already raining down like a blanket.

They almost hit Little Security Guard's feet.

Little Security Guard hurriedly retreated while summoning Spirit Stones.

The ground vibrated, and giant boulders emerged from the yellow sand.

The boulders seemed to have a spirit of their own, slowly forming heads, limbs, and other parts, eventually becoming Stone Giants.

Little Security Guard's 【Summon Spirit Stones】 ability had already upgraded to level three, allowing him to summon Stone Giants to use for himself!

There were already five or six Stone Giants, each over ten meters tall.

They could already help Little Security Guard block most of the archers' arrows.

For the few arrows that slipped through, Little Security Guard easily deflected them with his long spear.

The zombie archers were ineffective.

The enemy charioteers had already charged right in front of him.

Over fifty chariots, carrying over a hundred soldiers, charged over.

The zombie charioteers bared their fangs and brandished their claws, their cries shaking the heavens.

Little Security Guard commanded, "My Stone Warriors, attack!"

The Stone Giants lined up to form a defensive line.

When the chariots charged over, they were crushed by a single stomp from the Stone Giants.

One stomp for each chariot!

Even the zombie horses were trampled into meat patties!

The occasional zombie soldier that slipped through was slapped to death by the Stone Warriors!

Just like swatting an ant!

Little Security Guard was carefree, watching the battle from the rear.

"These Stone Warriors are really useful!"

"Just like the toy soldiers I played with when I was a kid!"

"Except the toy soldiers were dead, while these Stone Warriors are alive!"

Next, hundreds of infantry zombies also charged over.

If the charioteers were useless, the soldiers were even worse.

Several Stone Warriors pounded the ground fiercely, just like swatting cockroaches.

Yellow sand kept kicking up from the ground.

A gust of wind blew past, and hundreds of zombie corpses were already lying on the ground.

The zombie archers in the back, not good at positional warfare, were just cannon fodder.

In less than half an hour, the battle was over.

The floating system panel prompted: "Congratulations, you have passed the Rank C Elementary."

"More zombies are approaching; the next round, Rank C Intermediate, will be even more difficult!"

Little Security Guard laughed, "This round was passed too easily!"

"How hard can the next round be?"

Another zombie army approached.

The last time it was an ancient Egyptian zombie army.

This time it was an ancient Roman zombie army.

Wearing helmets that looked like rooster combs on their heads.

The formation was divided into functional sections like shield-bearers, long spear formations, and archer formations.

First, a dense rain of arrows attacked.

The Stone Giants naturally blocked them in front.

Little Security Guard laughed, "You know how to shoot arrows, but do you think I don't?"

He quickly activated the 【Summon Spirit Stones】 ability, and a large stone rose from the yellow sand.

"Cut the stone!"

It was as if invisible blades were cutting it, as easy as cutting a watermelon.

The large stone was cut into countless pebble-sized stones.

"Launch attack!"

The stones smashed toward the enemy camp, attacking automatically.

A large swath of the enemy's shield-bearers and long spear formations were smashed down.

The Roman army formation collapsed like a falling mountain.

His own Stone Giants then seized the opportunity to press forward, striking the remnants and reaping victory.

In less than fifteen minutes, the battle was over.

The floating system panel prompted: "Congratulations, you have passed the Rank C Intermediate."

"More zombies are approaching; the Rank C Advanced exam is about to begin."

Little Security Guard laughed, "Not much of a challenge!"

"I wonder which army I'll be fighting in the third round?"

The zombie corpses and weapons on the ground all disappeared.

A horn sounded in the distance.

A zombie army marched over.

The central army's banner fluttered in the wind!

On it, the character "Qin" was written in ancient seal script.

Damn, this is a Qin Dynasty zombie army!

It is said that the Qin Dynasty army was the best in the world!

Even if they turned into zombies, they shouldn't lose to other countries' armies!

Little Security Guard carefully observed the enemy situation.

The number of zombie soldiers was clearly doubled!

They were roughly divided into charioteers, infantry, and archers, and there were even cavalry!

Looking at the few Stone Warriors he had summoned, they had already suffered some wear and tear in the previous battles.

Moreover, their combat power wasn't enough.

Little Security Guard instantly thought of a new method...

The Great Qin zombie army charged over in a swarm.

The Stone Warriors defended against the enemy in the front.

The zombie charioteers in the front all became cannon fodder.

The infantry and cavalry began to adopt a new method.

The zombie army surrounded the Stone Giants, using ropes to snare the giants' feet, preventing them from moving.

Then they used ropes to snare their heads, pulling the giants down to the ground.

Then they swarmed up and smashed them fiercely.

No matter how powerful the giants were, facing such a swarm attack from so many zombies, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

As the saying goes, many ants can bite an elephant to death.

The Stone Giants were almost unable to hold on.

The zombie emperor in the rear formation discovered that although they had hit several Stone Giants, they couldn't find the main enemy, Little Security Guard.

Just as he was wondering, a rain of stones appeared behind the Great Qin army formation.

Pebble-sized stones smashed in from the rear.

The Great Qin soldiers were caught off guard and were hit one after another.

Behind the rain of stones was Little Security Guard, using his ability to manipulate stones.

It turned out Little Security Guard had 【Teleported】 to the enemy's rear.

Before long, the enemy had lost nearly half of their combat power.

Little Security Guard then summoned a few more Stone Warriors to join the battle and clean up the battlefield.

Slapping with palms!

Stomping with feet!

The pressure on the Stone Giants in the front of the formation was relieved, and they also began to join the counterattack.

The Great Qin army formation was caught in a pincer attack from front and back.

Little Security Guard kept creating new Stone Warriors, constantly adding them to the fray.

The situation on the battlefield became one-sided.

In just a few minutes, Little Security Guard achieved final victory.

The floating system panel prompted: "Congratulations, you have passed all Rank C exams."

"Please collect your prizes."

Then, two prizes appeared before Little Security Guard.

One was a silver trophy, modeled after a young girl's Rank C parts.

The other was an apple, slightly larger than an ordinary apple.

Little Security Guard laughed, "This Rank C is nothing much."

"I wonder what the Rank D exam is like?"

"It has no challenge at all!"

system panel: "The difficulty of the subsequent matches is ten times harder than Rank C..."
