Chapter 2213 Operation Dreaded Winter -Part 5

the star foxes who had received half ghoul lord derek's powers finally had the capability to control the zombies for the price of losing a random portion of their body. some might have their legs or hands zombified while others were a little unlucky in having their tongues or eyes taken away but it was not as bad as they thought it would be.

derek told them that they would retain the function of those parts that had been zombified but the difference was the undead process would cause some sluggish movements in those parts. hygiene is an utmost importance and nothing cannot be fixed with some magic. so, if one so desire, they can consistently pour energy or magic into their undead part to make it seem like they were still a human again.

the problem with that would be how much magic were they willing to maintain. were they going for mere aesthetics or are they putting in more magic to ensure that they could have the same functions as it was prior to the sacrifice? regardless of the choices, the star foxes that had been bestowed such zombification by the half ghoul lord were now bona fide necromancers.

their ability to summon zombies had quickened, and the power to control the zombies' direction was also amplified to a higher extent so it was not too bad of a trade off. this had enabled the direction of the fight to be much more in the favour of the star foxes. the southern kingdom initially had the upper hand in the fights with their skirmishes with the zombies, especially with the white flames supporting them but it all changed.nôv(el)b\\jnn

soon, the zombies were taking over border towns with much more ease and that hindered the white flames from intercepting them. this was because, unlike the time when the zombie horde would stay in one particular area for a long time before moving out, the star foxes and half ghoul lord derek had made them work more than just overtime. each time they had decimated the forces within the bordering town to about 10% of the population left, the horde would scatter and move to in multiple directions to confuse the remaining witnesses.

somehow it did work as a distraction as the white flames requested more troops as scouts or vanguards to act as a buffer for them should they receive news of the zombie horde and this in hand further reduced the number of forces in the bulk of the kingdoms.

although it was tiring for the star foxes to keep a consistent lookout, at least they had the system to report to them, enabling them to play this out smoothly. the magpies and crows under the control of a certain bird queen had proven that birds were still useful in information recon and jin did not deny its capabilities. (although the magpie queen was just happy that she was still useful after all the inaction she received.)

other than that, winter was slowly approaching and the results of the infiltration by another group of star foxes alongside the drug smugglers had been proven to be rather successful. in less than two weeks, the star foxes were able to meet up with key figures and get them to fall into their hands with the power of banned substances.

the ecstasy that the pills provided had been useful in submitting them to the star foxes' will and for a moment they thought that they needed to use their psychic powers to find such key figures if time was of an essence. to their surprise, there was no need to and the moment they were introduced to such nobles, the star foxes immediately took over their minds and hearts with both pills and magic.

this deadly combination had pushed the nobles to make reckless ill informed decisions to push the key military personnel out of their kingdoms and to the frontlines of ress and the southern kingdoms. slowly but surely, there was almost nothing major left in the southern ports of these kingdoms and it was just a matter of time before jin would be able to enact operation dreaded winter the moment snow fell to the ground of atopia for the year.
