Chapter 192 - 126: Ox Demon’s Rampage
The reason they hadn’t produced Warriors in large numbers was that the Dogman Suicide Squad consumed too many resources. While their normal combat effectiveness was far inferior to the Wolf Guards, their strength lay in surprise attacks. Aided by small boats, their speed was greater, allowing them to break through defenses and specialize in decapitation missions.
The Dogman Suicide Squad was remarkably effective. The squad members who disembarked guarded the boats, keeping the Undead at bay, while the Dogmen inside activated a mechanism. The small boats were suddenly propped up, their hulls tilting skyward and aiming for the distant Undead Fortress.
Once everything was ready, the Dogman Suicide Squad quickly returned to their boats and lit the pre-placed gunpowder.
With a thunderous BOOM, an explosion erupted from their position. The small boats took flight, propelled toward the Undead Fortress.
This scene left Li Ziyu dumbfounded. ’Are we throwing science out the window and just going with manga logic now?’
’Is this shit for real?’
’A literal flying ship!’
The small boats shot through the air like cannonballs. The spear-like rams on their bows pierced deep into the fortress walls, leaving the hulls dangling in midair as the Dogman Suicide Squad scrambled out and began to climb.
Percy was also getting desperate. He rarely played games, but he could clearly see the stalemate in the battle. He knew that relying on Benjamin’s Power alone, it would be difficult to defeat the Undead. Even after sending out the Dogman Grenadiers, they still couldn’t decisively tip the scales in their favor.
To hold anything back now would be suicidal. So, gritting his teeth, Percy sent in his suicide squad.
"Brilliant move, Percy!" Benjamin exclaimed, his excitement flaring the moment he saw the boats. He understood Percy’s intention—he was going for a decapitation strike.
’It’s a great idea. As long as we take out the Undead City Lord, we can buy some time. Without a commander, the Undead will be in disarray. We might just be able to turn this defeat into a victory.’
They had used decapitation strikes before, and more than once. However, they were usually carried out by the Jackal Wolfmen. Even Benjamin had no idea about Percy’s Dogman Suicide Squad.
With Daggers clenched in their teeth, Long Spears slung over their backs, Hand Grenades at their waists, and clad in Leather Armor, the Dogman Suicide Squad scaled the walls of the Undead Fortress with shocking speed. For a group of Kobolds, they climbed with the agility of Lizardmen.
Leaping onto the platform, they faced the surrounding Skeleton Undead without a hint of panic. The Dogman Suicide Squad formed groups of three: one stood guard, one engaged the enemy, and one threw Hand Grenades. They pushed forward, blasting Skeleton Undead to pieces as they went.
Their objective was clear: the main tower ahead. They were to storm the tower and kill the City Lord. Dying in the attempt was acceptable—this was the order their own City Lord had given them.
The resources allocated to the suicide squad were the best, even better than those for the Wolf Guards. Their loyalty to Percy was absolute—they were Death Warriors, and Percy would never have deployed them unless it was a critical moment.
The Skeleton Undead truly couldn’t stop the Dogman Suicide Squad, who cleared a path with their crude hand grenades. Although a few Dogmen were taken down, most of the teams made it to the main tower.
The Skeleton Ox Demons that had been guarding the main tower had already been sent to the opposite platform by Li Ziyu. Now, only Skeleton Undead remained as guards. The suicide squad had no fear of Skeleton Undead; they fought fiercely while searching for a way up. Their City Lord had told them before they left: the target was at the very top, and they had to reach the roof.
From his position above, Li Ziyu could already see the suicide squad and had made his own assessment of them.
’This is an elite, well-trained squad. They’re stronger than ordinary Kobolds or Jackal Wolves, but their combat power is still less than the Wolf Guards. The only reason they’ve made it this far is by relying on all sorts of special tricks.’
’Hm. If I had to fight them myself, I wouldn’t win.’
’But as the Undead City Lord, why would I ever fight them myself? So what if I sent the Skeleton Ox Demons away? You can’t underestimate me that much. Alright, Dark Skeletons, it’s your turn!’
