The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 68 The Real End of the War
Ryan found that the high-level zombies he commanded were about the same size as ordinary zombies, sitting on the seats on the backs of giant zombies that were a circle larger than normal giant zombies. Faced with the current situation where humans had already rushed in front of them, they frantically commanded zombies from all over to come back for help.

Unfortunately, the plants that were capable of long-range attacks used all their strength to create a buffer zone, making it difficult for the surrounding zombies to provide support for a while.

The giant robots commanded by Dave soon got entangled with these zombies. The giant robots fixed the giant zombies, and then the plants on their bodies attacked them crazily.

Ryan was not idle at this time, and began to use magic to shoot at the high-level zombies under his command. However, he found that those high-level zombies had magic resistance, and even the targeted ancient life magic of unclean silence could only make the opponent's movements pause slightly.

So Ryan decided to cooperate with others to assist. He saw a giant zombie entangled by a giant robot, and the high-level zombie sitting on it was ready to escape. Ryan aimed at the zombie and released the Unholy Silence. Just when it paused, Ryan's comrade-in-arms rushed up with the robot and used the Fire Dragon Grass on the robot to completely incinerate the zombie.

Without waiting for the two men to nod, Ryan hooked a robot with his grappling claws and quickly swung to the other direction, throwing an armored bodyguard to a soldier who accidentally dropped the robot during the battle, helping him block the attack of a zombie. On the battlefield, everyone was trying their best to cooperate with their comrades and try their best to eliminate the enemy.

After less than ten minutes of fierce fighting, humans completely wiped out the high-level zombies who served as commanders in the zombie army. When the last high-level zombie was completely crushed by a giant robot, Ryan knew that the war had been won.

Sure enough, without the command of the high-level zombies, the other zombies resumed their aimless wandering. Although the life force of humans could still attract them, they no longer launched the same huge pressure attack as before when there was a command.

Without a leader, the zombies were just a mob and were quickly wiped out by humans. When the sun was about to set, the war was completely over.

According to post-war statistics, an army of more than 700 humans and more than 5000 robots carrying a large number of magical plants completely wiped out more than zombies on the Green Leaf Plain where Green Leaf City is located.

But the price paid was that although no one died, at least ten people would be permanently disabled. Half of the robots were destroyed, especially the giant robots, only 1/10 survived.

Half of the most important plants were lost, and some plants used for close combat were almost all lost. In addition, the supplies that had been stored for a long time were basically consumed, and humans lost their offensive capabilities for at least half a year.

But the gains were also very great. After taking over the coastal Green Leaf City, the human side finally regained basic industrial capacity (you have to know that in order to make these 5000 robots, the town had basically consumed all the steel it could find, including several pre-disaster steel warehouses and an abandoned train station with multiple trains. It was also thanks to a series of unscientific plants that do not require fuel when making steel. Otherwise, it might not be possible to build so many robots).

Now we have enough land to develop industry and plant plants. As long as we patiently develop for a while, humans will surely become the rulers of this world again.

Because it was completely dark, they did not enter the city for safety reasons. Ryan followed the practice of ancient Viking wizards and commanded the robots to build an altar on the battlefield to resolve the grievances of the zombies who fell here through ancient rituals, liberating and purifying the souls of the unfortunate people trapped in their rotting bodies.

As Ryan stood on the altar, waving his wand and chanting in ancient Viking language, dots of silver light emerged from the fallen zombies, forming vague translucent souls in the air. In the chanting, the ghosts' expressions gradually calmed down, and finally bowed to Ryan on the altar and disappeared into smoke.

This purification ceremony lasted for a whole night before it was over. Fortunately, these were just zombies, whose strength was reflected in their bodies. After destroying their bodies, their souls were even weaker than ordinary people. If they were vengeful spirits, this ceremony would not only be troublesome but also dangerous. Others also saw ghosts everywhere, and some even saw their relatives and friends and burst into tears. The next morning, Ryan found that everyone in the camp looked at him with more awe and gratitude. After packing up, everyone headed towards Green Leaf City. At noon, those who had fully recovered went to Green Leaf City.

After cleaning up the remaining zombies in Greenleaf City, Ryan and Dave saw off Kenway at the dock as he was about to set off on a steam-powered sailboat. This was part of the reconstruction plan, and Kenway would go to the surrounding islands to search for survivors.

As he watched the sail fade away, Dave turned to Ryan and said, "Dave thinks his friend is going home soon."

"Yes." Ryan said, "I have finished what I needed to do this time. It is time for me to go home. Next time I come, I will look for some potions. Maybe I can help those disabled soldiers stand up again."

"Thank you for your help this time. At least you used magic to kill a lot of troublesome guys and saved a lot of people. In this era, every person who survives means a little more hope." After saying that, Dave patted Ryan on the shoulder and motioned for Lan to follow him.

When Ryan walked to the river, he found that a steamship was coming from upstream with a large number of spare parts.

"I will build a second energy tower in this city. After all, the original town is suitable for taking refuge, but if we want to develop it, there is a severe lack of space." Dave pointed at the steamship and said to Ryan.

Then he pointed to a high ground near the river where a large number of robots were busy, as if they were building something.

"Because there are few people now, in order to prevent the zombies from counterattacking, Dave decided to build a giant fortress here that can accommodate everyone to ensure safety. This will be our base in the future, and the materials will be obtained from the city first."

Arriving at the construction site, Ryan carefully observed the building materials and discovered that many of them were indeed directly dismantled from buildings in the city. It seemed that for safety reasons, the city needed to be temporarily sacrificed.

Dave walked into a small, newly built room and came out with a laptop, a portable hard drive, and a bag of seeds.

"This is my gift to you. In addition to my life's experience and notes, there are also some seeds. This is what you deserve. In addition to this, I also want to give you a large farm. Thank you for your contribution to our world." Dave said, holding Ryan's hand with a rare serious expression.

"Thank you. I have also gained a lot from you. I think next time I come, I should be able to see a beautiful world." Ryan said and shook Dave's hand vigorously. Then he took a step back, opened the space-time gate, and left this world after waving goodbye to Dave.
