The whole city was bustling with activity as people carried ammunition to the city wall for those who have run out. Others worked hard to erect tents that would serve as makeshift hospitals for the injured people to get treated.

And there were those running towards the city gate to protect it so that zombies don’t overrun it and gain access to the city.

When Ye Xuan, Chu Miao, Qin Jiuzen, and the other leaders left the command tent and headed to the place where Gu Fan had all the warriors assemble, all that could be seen was a mass of black heads.

It seemed that many people were willing to fight to protect this city they had regained with much difficult.

Chu Miao could feel that many people within this crowd didn’t have any spiritual energy fluctuations, meaning that they were ordinary people.

Ye Xuan, also realized this and he couldn’t help nodding his head.

This was what a citizen of their country was supposed to be. No matter how much strength they have, as long as the nation needs them, they would answer to the call with whatever strength they have.

Qin Jiuzen raised his hand and the place became quiet.

"I understand that many people are willing to fight to protect their homes and the people behind these walls. However, we come from different groups, and it might become challenging to coordinate in the battlefield. So, we have decided that the whole battlefield will be commanded by one person. The young man standing beside me is a major general of our country. To be more precise, the youngest major general our country has ever produced. You all know what that means. It is not connections, but ability. He was able to become a major general at the age of twenty-five because he is the best of the best." Qin Jiuzen first decided to decorate Ye Xuan and embellish him as much as he could so that he could inspire trust in the people who believe themselves to be strong and might resist having such a young person lead them.

He waited for a bit for this information to sink before raising his voice again.

"Not only is he very skilled in shooting and combat, but his battle strategies are beyond question. He has gone on missions in foreign countries deep into enemy territory and come back unscathed. So, when he tells you to do something, don’t ask questions. He is telling you that because he wants you to leave today’s battle alive. He is also a level six, in fact his superpower is close to level seven. So, I dare to say that he and his fiance whi is standing beside him are the strongest humans. Both are about to break through to level seven. So, they are more qualified to lead today’s battle. Why am I telling you all this? Because I want you to know that we have unanimously decided to let them lead the battle. I am not saying that with them leading we won’t have any losses. Losses in war are inevitable, what I want to say is that with them in the lead, the losses will be reduced to the minimum number possible. So, when you enter the battlefield today, you will become soldiers under their command and I expect everyone if you to follow orders. Remember that a single second of hesitation when receiving orders could result in death and you might even drag those around you down with you. So, when the command says jump to the right, even if there is a pit there, don’t ask questions and just do it."

Chu Miao had to say that the older the ginger the spicier.

She wouldn’t have been able to rule these people so much with just words alone. Qin Jiuzen had elevated them almost to the level of gods.

Now, they had to work harder to minimize losses as much as possible because if they don’t, the people on the battlefield would lose faith in them.

What a cunning old fox.

However, this was good because now it would be easier to control the battlefield.

"Are we clear about that?" Qin Jiuzen asked loudly, and a deafening chorus followed as the more than two hundred thousand warriors replied.

"Understood."

"Alright, I will leave the rest to the major." He added and took a step back to signify his handover.

"Those with superpowers stand to the right, those without stand to the left." Ye Xuan said with a stern voice.

In less than a minute, the crowd was divided into two groups.

It must be said, Qin Jiuzen’s little speech really worked.

"Those with superpowers, stand according to your ability. Fire element users in one group, water element users in another group, wind element users in another and so on." Ye Xuan added.

Soon, there were more than five groups where the superpower users belonged.

There was a group of fire element users, which was larger than the rest. Another had water element users, a third one with metal ability users, another with earth ability users, a fifth one that had wood ability users, which was the smallest among the five natural elements.

There was another smaller group where wind ability users belonged to. Another even smaller group had lightning element users, and another with ice ability users.

Spatial ability users also formed their own group. Even though it was seen as none-offensive, some spatial superpower users had found ways to use their space in battle.

Chu Miao was surprised to find that there wasn’t another variant superpower. She had read in novels that darkness even though rare might appear in the apocalypse, but obviously, this wasn’t a fictional apocalypse.

"Alright, superpower users will work together with the ordinary people in the battlefield. Those with fire, water, ice, and wind will launch long-range attacks to make sure that those zombies don’t stay organized. You will also provide long-range support in case those fighting in close combat find themselves trapped. It is also your duty, together with those on the wall handling long-range weapons like snipers to prevent sneak attacks. Make sure that when the people fighting in close combat leave their backs open, they don’t have to worry about getting killed by a sneaky zombie." Ye Xuan instructed the first group of superpower users.
