Doomsday Pillars

Shocked by how easily Alex took care of the situation, Colonel Angus was speechless and could not utter any words.

Arief who was silent all this time finally opened his mouth.

"So, what is the plan?" He asked calmly, but Alex was sure there was a concealed excitement in his voice.

Alex could not help but take a second deep glance at the bloodied state of this colonel from head to toes when he heard the man’s inquiry. "Are you not tired, Colonel?" he asked while raising his eyebrows.

"No, not at all." replied Arief firmly. "Ready for your order!"

Taking another glance and seeing the resolute gaze in Arief’s eyes, Alex finally agreed. "Alright then."

Colonel Angus finally woke up from his shocked state by Arief’s loud declaration. Realizing the situation before him, he quickly spoke.

"Should I and my men follow you, Mr Alex? We can fight again after a slight rest."

Alex thought about the offer for a moment, but in the end politely refused it.

"There is no need to do so, Colonel Angus. It is better for you and your men to defend here while my group advances towards the zombie hordes."

"Oh, you’re right, Mr Alex. I understand." said Colonel Angus, nodding his head. He then continued. "Well then, my purpose here is done, Mr Alex. If you excuse me, I will now go and check my men."

"Of course, Colonel Angus. Please relay my greetings to them."

As Colonel Angus walked away, Alex turned his head towards the west, at the area covered by blazing flames across the sea before he finally shifted his gaze at the almost annihilated zombie hordes. The expression on his face seemed to say that he was waiting for someone or something.

A moment later, Oliver, one of the fighters in Jerry’s group appeared from the crowd of zombies and walked over to Alex’s location. Arief was surprised to see the appearance of Oliver that should not be possible to be here.

Yesterday, when he received the latest information from Jerry, Alex had coordinated a plan with him and his team who followed the migrating zombie hordes. The previously cannon and artillery fires are the signal to conduct the plan.

Oliver immediately took out a map and gave it to Alex. On the map, there were marks that showed the location of Jerry’s group and the zombie hordes. Alex then quickly summoned his 100 fighters and Arief’s men while his mind continued to dwell over the plan.

When everyone was gathered, he ordered the fighters to stay here to reinforce and defend the line, letting the exhausted Australian fighters rest. After that, Alex then pointed his finger at Aria, Sergei, Arief, Tommy, and Oscar.

"You five will come with me." said Alex casually. "The seven of us should be enough for this." he muttered. Alex then threw his gaze to Theo who was standing there calmly.

"Theo, you will be the one in charge of the troops here while we’re gone."

"I understand. Please take care." answered Theo

Nodding his head, Alex turned towards Oliver and said. "Let’s go."

Alex along with his strongest fighters immediately charged into the area that was still engulfed in flames, with Oliver at the front as the guide. They quickly broke through the area covered by the sea of flames as zombie hordes appeared in front of their eyes. As if there was an unstoppable force that embraced the group, they swiftly cut through the sea of zombies like a sharp knife.

With the fact that everyone in the group is middle stage Sky realm Magus, not a single black zombie could stop them. Although occasionally they encounter stage 4 zombies, with their combined attacks, several tier 3 spells directly hit the stage 4 zombie making it can not last more than 10 seconds.

Oliver who at the front acts as the vanguard as he uses the [Energized] spell, breaking through the sea of zombies and opening the path for others behind him. Due to their limited amount of time, this 7 person group decided to ignore the zombies on their sides and kept moving fast.

Countless zombies that seemed endless could be seen along the way as they continued to move through the hordes. It looked like this stage 5 zombie had succeeded to rally all the zombies on the southeast of Australian Continent.

In his previous life, Alex only knew that the Australian that lived in Sydney city were unable to survive against the zombie invasion in the first year of apocalypse, wiping them off the map while the details were left unknown in that time of chaos. Apparently, this is what happened at that time. And right now, Alex is doing his best to change the destiny of these Australians.

Shortly after, they reached an area on the west of Sydney city, 8 kilometers away from the Sydney Gate defensive line. In some corner of that area, bursts of colorful spells could be seen as a crowd of fighters were fighting against the zombies.

These fighters are the members of the platoon that Jerry led, 120 Sky realm fighters from the 3rd and 4th platoon. These people were also currently surrounded by the zombies, but not as much as the ones who charged to Sydney city.

When Alex’s group arrived and saw these people, they quickly entered the fray and killed the zombie hordes. Half an hour later, not a single zombie could be seen standing anymore. Jerry and Daisy then walked over to the group.

"You guys are finally here." said Jerry with a sigh of relief. "What took you so long?"

"Can’t you see the busy traffic?" answered Alex, raising his eyebrows while his thumb pointing behind him, at the zombie hordes in the distance.

Hearing Alex’s response, Jerry glanced at Aria and said.

"Huh?! I think 6 months living with a beautiful girl is making you soft." He sneered.

"Really? A joke at times like this?" said Alex, folding his arms across his chest. Raising one of his eyebrows, he then said. "That’s not exactly how normal people treat those who come helping them."

"Well... we don’t really need any help. We are just waiting here for your order while doing a little exercise in the meantime." said Jerry smugly. He then grabbed Daisy’s shoulders who was beside him. "You see... Daisy, my partner here is simply the best!"

Alex looked at Daisy, the teenage girl who 6 months ago still looks fragile like a flower has now appeared before him with a veteran air around her. He smiled faintly at her.

Daisy, who noticed Alex’s gaze nodded in respect to him. She then threw her gaze at the group behind Alex, searching for someone. When she found the one she was looking for: Tommy, Daisy smiled at him.

"So, where is it?" asked Alex
