When the new sun rose, the day of battle had arrived. Last night, in a great mood, Lin Yi slept soundly until dawn, unable to recall the last time he had enjoyed such a deep sleep.
As the morning glow pierced through the Arc de Triomphe, every Mercenary clad in black War God Suits seemed to be coated in a layer of golden armor. They fought not only for themselves but for all of humanity. Although Mercenaries were known for working for money, at this moment, their purpose felt so noble and righteous!
Standing on the podium in the Greater Paris Defense Zone, the President of the Defense Council declared with a single phrase: "Fight! Victory is ours!"
Even though it was just a simple statement, four words ignited everyone's passion!
"Fight!"
"Victory is ours!" A wave of cheers erupted from the crowd as everyone waved their weapons and shouted loudly; at this moment, there was only one thing to do—fight!
Soon, the fifty thousand troops stationed in central Paris set out. The greatest concentration of forces was at the Quarantine Wall area outside the defense zone. These fifty thousand soldiers were heading to rendezvous with the troops stationed at the border region before pushing directly beyond the quarantine.
The outermost perimeter of the Greater Paris Defense Zone was Amiens City, and there was a railway from Paris that led straight to Amiens City! After passing through the Arc de Triomphe, Lin Yi and his team boarded armored vehicles heading to the train station.
With fifty thousand people and various supplies and equipment, the entire railway line of the Paris Defense Zone was nearly filled to capacity in an instant. Even so, many heavy support equipment could not be transported by train and had to be carried by several Sky Giants. Moreover, Will informed Lin Yi that among their large force, three Nine Star Level Super Experts were hidden within. After all, such a massive troop movement would surely attract the attention of Zombies; they feared that Super Experts might come to disrupt them.
Lin Yi truly wanted to meet these Nine Star Level masters, but knowing that even Will could not see them made him abandon that thought. Furthermore, although they were acting alongside the military, their Mercenary group consisted of only five thousand members, two thousand of whom were from the Golden Mercenary Corps. The border forces numbered around twenty to thirty thousand; however, compared to the entire army of five hundred thousand, these numbers were insignificant.
The train was heavily loaded but managed to transport nearly fifty thousand troops and their equipment to Amiens City in a timely manner. At this moment, Amiens City was bustling with activity. Various military vehicles wove through the crowds amidst shouts and cheers; the entire suburban area resembled a busy marketplace filled with voices.
As soon as Lin Yi and his team disembarked, they were led by a representative from the Mercenary Alliance to their designated encampment. Due to their smaller numbers, all Mercenaries were already geared up and ready for action. Surprisingly, there were over thirty named Mercenary groups here; most had only hundreds of members, with a few consisting of just dozens.
At that moment, Lin Yi realized that besides his own Mercenary group and the Golden Mercenary Corps, there was also a group with over a thousand members! It was important to note that while there were many Mercenaries overall, most groups consisted of only tens or hundreds of members. Groups exceeding a thousand were rare. After all, being prominent attracted trouble; most Mercenaries sought wealth rather than managing an Armed Forces of such size—a task fraught with difficulties.
For a long time to come, Lin Yi would likely have to collaborate with these Mercenaries. Naturally, he took the initiative to approach the larger Mercenary Squad, hoping to engage in a lengthy conversation and make some connections. However, the other party seemed disinterested in talking, and all Lin Yi learned was that they were also First-Class Stewards.
The battle finally erupted at noon. According to relevant studies, Zombies were at their weakest during this time. Although this theory had not gained universal acceptance among nations, commanders responsible for directing battles still habitually chose to launch attacks at noon.
The conflict involving five hundred thousand people did not mean that all five hundred thousand would rush out at once. In the early stages, synchronized Satellites had already been deployed to monitor the situation around Amiens City and locate the distribution of Zombies. However, these Zombies seemed to have received word and mostly opted for concealment.
Whether it was internal betrayal among humans or intelligence gathered by the Zombies themselves, it was not good news for the Allied Forces. Subsequently, a Hive Unmanned Mother Machine was dispatched with a large number of bee reconnaissance drones for close-range scouting, but only a few Zombies were discovered.
According to standard protocol, before a major offensive, artillery coverage was required within at least a thirty-kilometer radius. This time, for safety's sake, they extended it to fifty kilometers!
Lin Yi felt somewhat frustrated that the first wave of attacks consisted entirely of Mercenaries. However, others seemed already aware of this and appeared indifferent. Lin Yi shrugged it off; even faced with numerous Zombies, he had no reason to fear given his team's combat strength.
What Lin Yi did not expect was that the Golden Mercenary Corps, as a civilian Armed Force, had actually received one hundred sets of War God Suits! This number exceeded that of many countries; the smallest allocations were merely symbolic ten sets. Lin Yi's ability to obtain one thousand sets was due to Li Qiweng's influence, which stemmed from Li Xianzong's backing. As for Li Xianzong's true intentions behind this decision, Lin Yi did not inquire further; after all, he had formed the Mercenary group to eliminate Zombies and felt justified in acquiring this equipment.
The battle unexpectedly commenced as Lin Yi and his team first charged out of the Quarantine Wall in armored vehicles. The area just covered by artillery fire still emitted smoke and flames; amidst the ruins, a few charred Zombies could be seen.
Suddenly, several staggering Zombies burst forth from a dilapidated building, limping and roaring as they attempted to approach Lin Yi's convoy.
As soon as they emerged, they were instantly shot through the head by nearby Mercenaries. The victorious roars of the Zombies never had a chance to sound; Lin Yi had already begun their requiem.
A mere handful of Zombies were no longer worth his concern. The monitoring equipment relayed real-time information back to him, indicating that there were no Zombies within a one-kilometer radius ahead!
With this knowledge, Lin Yi and his team surged forward like a tidal wave, quickly penetrating thirty kilometers into Zombie-occupied territory. However, according to their overall strategy, they needed to thoroughly clear all surrounding areas of Zombies. Just after Lin Yi and the other Mercenaries reached thirty kilometers outside Amiens City, they received orders to meticulously inspect all nearby regions and ensure not a single Zombie escaped detection!
Although the military did not provide weapon support for the Mercenaries this time, they did send many advanced Hive Monitoring Systems. Lin Yi's team received ten sets of Hive Systems and was responsible for covering a large area—almost needing to inspect everything within a ten-kilometer radius. Fortunately, Lin Yi's Psychic Power had already reached level eight; with the current situation being relatively calm, he frequently released his Psychic Power for monitoring purposes.
Previously, the Milan Defense Zone had been breached, and the Zombies had conducted underground attacks. This time, Lin Yi used his Psychic Power to search, considering that the Hive System could not monitor deep underground. Thus, Lin Yi was willing to expend his Psychic Power to infiltrate and check if any Zombies were hiding beneath the surface. Moreover, Lin Yi's Psychic Power would gradually increase with continuous consumption; if he disregarded danger and depleted it completely, he would experience a significant boost upon recovery.
After about ten minutes of searching, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that beneath a dilapidated ordinary building, there was indeed a hidden chamber, and inside lay something that everyone loved. However, Lin Yi no longer cared about those things; although over two hundred million Contribution Points were not entirely his, at least half could be claimed as his own.
Searching was a tedious task. By the time the follow-up troops arrived, Lin Yi and his team had already scoured the surrounding area, but it seemed as if the Zombies had evaporated from existence; they could hardly find a single Zombie!
The Allied Forces aimed to completely reclaim the territory occupied by the Zombies. Therefore, when Lin Yi and his team successfully secured a thirty-kilometer radius, the Allied Forces immediately mobilized engineering units to begin constructing the Quarantine Wall!
Massive construction machinery moved tirelessly across the battlefield. The houses destroyed by artillery fire were repurposed by the engineering units into building materials for the Quarantine Wall. Lin Yi and his team were primarily tasked with guarding the area; however, under constant surveillance from satellites, every movement of the Zombies was relayed in real-time to the command center.
Ten days later, the thirty-kilometer-long Quarantine Wall, standing ten meters high and two meters wide, which began construction from Amiens City, was completed. However, this was merely a foundation; further work would continue since this Quarantine Wall would likely be shattered in just a few blows from those powerful Zombies!
The operation went so smoothly that the entire Allied Forces might not have anticipated it. Not only did the Greater Paris Defense Zone's troops progress without issue, but even the joint forces of Brussels Coalition experienced remarkable success as they advanced along Brussels and quickly reached Reims, the northernmost city of the Greater Paris Defense Zone. The Brussels Coalition expanded their territory continuously and completed the Quarantine Wall from Brussels to Reims in just twenty days!
A month later, the Greater Paris Defense Zone's troops had extended their Quarantine Wall to Dunkirk, while forces from Greater London Defense Zone established another wall stretching from Dunkirk to Brussels. During this period, nearly two million joint forces had cleared all Zombies from the areas connecting Brussels, Amiens City, Reims, and Dunkirk. However, it was uncertain whether to feel joy or concern; they encountered fewer than one hundred thousand Zombies, most of which were ordinary Zombies—none exceeding Three-Star Combat Power!
The Quarantine Wall at Dunkirk was about to connect with the one originating from Amiens City. Everyone's spirits were high as many gathered there, listening to the sound of waves while waiting for construction to finish.
At that moment, the previously calm sea suddenly became turbulent as several powerful presences rapidly approached!
