Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 631: Chapter 404 The Undead Army Arrives, Castle Layout Defense_2

As space was torn apart, the Undead Army began to enter in an orderly fashion.

The first of the undead species to pass through the spatial gate were the Shadow Souls.

With the arrival of the leader of the Shadow Souls, Zi Liyuan immediately issued an order to it.

Dispatch tens of thousands of Shadow Souls to serve as scouts, to probe and clear out the monsters in the nearby areas.

While ensuring your survival, eliminate as many as possible.

If you encounter powerful monsters or groups, then return and summon reinforcements; the Specter Dragon Legion will clean up.

Next to emerge were the Ghouls and Skeletons.

The number of Ghouls was considerable, but the number of Skeletons was even greater, flooding out like a torrent, rapidly spreading throughout all parts of the town.

The last to make an appearance were the Bone Dragons. Compared to Zi Liyuan’s Specter Dragon Boss Army, these Bone Dragons, though of fourth-tier peak strength, were mostly ordinary monsters, their templates being at least rare units.

The reason for the scarcity of Bone Dragon Bosses was that Zi Liyuan had contracted most of the bosses, forcibly elevating them to the Lord Boss template using the Heart of the Lord, and sent them into the Specter Dragon Legion.

The current Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion already boasted 1,500 Specter Dragons, with each capable of using Replica Skills, equivalent to forming a terrifying army of 10,000 Specter Dragon Lord Bosses.

The Bone Dragons took flight, the Ghouls hid within the town’s buildings, and the Skeleton Sea filled every corner of the town, even spreading beyond it.

Within the entire town, the number of the Undead Army exceeded 500,000!

As for the human troops handed over to Zi Liyuan by those lords, they were received by Kulong and then immediately redeployed outside the town, stationed beyond the East Gate of the castle.

Zi Liyuan had no intention of using this force to defend the city; rather, he planned to return them to those lords.

Though an elite force, they were not well-suited to integrate with the Undead Army.

This was unavoidable, as the undead were dead spirit creatures, shrouded in death and negative energy, which were ominous for living beings.

If both sides stayed together for a prolonged period, it could easily cause living beings to become ill or enter a special state.

Of course, if a living being were strong enough, they would naturally resist the infiltration of death or negative energy.

“Spider Queen, you stay in the Council Hall and ensure no one sneaks in.”

Having just accessed the information from the Heart of the Castle, if the Council Hall were attacked or an unauthorized person entered, an automatic transparent barrier would form to isolate it.

However, this barrier’s strength was only equivalent to 100 million health points.

For fourth-tier peak lords who had lifted the Realm Sea Seal, there were many ways to deal nearly a billion damage in one strike.

Thus, without a strong guard, the Council Hall was always a risk.

Among the subordinates Zi Liyuan brought, only the Spider Queen and Xiao Guang were the most powerful, but Xiao Guang needed to reveal his true form as the spacecraft; otherwise, many weapons couldn’t be used at all.

And Xiao Guang’s true form was a massive spacecraft!

Its size was much larger than the castle, so naturally, he couldn’t stay in the Council Hall.

“Kulong, dispatch the Specter Dragon army. Form teams of a hundred dragons to escort the materials and subjects of the 21 lords to this castle.”

“Understood, Master!”

The massive Spectral Dragon King took to the air, and with just a long dragon roar and the dragon king’s might, the Specter Dragon army hovering above the castle immediately dispersed.

Watching the teams of Specter Dragons forming formations and spreading out, Zi Liyuan nodded.

High-level troops were intelligent, had strong combat power, and executed tasks with a high degree of completion.

Seeing the Undead Army fill the entire castle, Zi Liyuan casually cut off the supply of Nether Force to the spatial gate.

“Dilys, let’s go. Take me outside the city; it’s time for the Legion of the Fear Knight King to make an appearance.”

A fourth-tier strong individual could expend their internal spiritual power to walk briefly in the air within the Sea of Realms, but why do it yourself when you have a beautiful mount?

Riding on the true form of the Black Dragon King, Dilys, they arrived at the East Gate almost instantly.

Seated on Dilys’ back, Zi Liyuan had no intention of dismounting. As the Nether Force flowed through his body, a powerful summoning array appeared not far away.

With the gathering of death energy, the sounds of horses, hooves, and armor friction began emanating from the summoning array.

Line after line of cavalry, marching with uniform steps, emerged from the summoning array.

Covered entirely in pitch-black armor, wielding Guan Dao swords, and with undead horses clad in full armor, they wielded an aura akin to a sea of corpses and blood, impacting all living beings present.

The human garrison newly deployed outside the East Gate gazed at the dark, armored cavalry, feeling an inexplicable fear rising in their hearts. Their bodies felt chills down their spines, and their spirits started to tremble with dread.

Fear Knights, all Lord Bosses, numbering three thousand; each knight, like the Specter Dragons, could also use Replica Skills, equivalent to forming a terrifying cavalry army of 20,000.

Their leader was the Nightmare Knight, an Epic Boss with strength so formidable that they could suppress Kulong, the Spectral Dragon King.

Of course, being both Epic Bosses, normally, the Nightmare Knight would stand little chance against Kulong, the Spectral Dragon King.

But having signed a slave contract with Zi Liyuan alongside him, they were sheltered by the Goddess of Luck, and with the terrifying luck attribute, skills triggered by chance became certain, making their power exponentially grow.

The Nightmare Knight’s passive critical hit could reach a terrifying 8x! @@novelbin@@

Already formidable in attack, each strike delivering an eight-fold critical hit, their basic attacks could slice through foes effortlessly, not to mention their control over explosive skills.

It could be said that among the Epic Bosses Zi Liyuan commanded, the Nightmare Knight was firmly in second place.

As for the first, Old Iron claimed it with utmost certainty, settling comfortably.

Hell Demon Puppet, formed from skill fusion mutation with ample investment of extremely precious resources by Zi Liyuan, had its attributes off the charts, its combat power rivaling that of the Spider Queen!

The only shortcoming was its insufficient health points.

Kulong, as the Epic Boss Spectral Dragon King, was very powerful but primarily relied on triggering the godlike skill, the Aging Curse.

Unfortunately, undead creatures mostly weren’t affected by the Aging Curse, resulting in one-sided suppression in a duel against the Nightmare Knight, being pinned down by this subordinate race with no room for complaint.

“Nightmare, within a thousand-kilometer radius, clear out all monsters or groups! If you encounter Blue Star Lords who don’t surrender, show no mercy!”

“Understood, Master!”

“Go now.”

“Right away!”

The Nightmare Knight flew into the air, swiftly commanding the three thousand knights to transform into three groups of a thousand-strong cavalries, charging in different directions.

Wherever the Legion of the Fear Knight King passed, all living beings were annihilated!

“This group of madmen might just create rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.”

The deadliest of the undead army under Zi Liyuan’s command was undoubtedly this cavalry legion.

When they slaughtered the Wokou, they were the main force, their iron hooves truly conquering and killing without equal.

Their butcher’s blades aimed to slaughter cities and exterminate clans.

“The more monsters we kill now during regional invasions, the easier it will be during the monster siege later.”

Zi Liyuan replied casually, and with another wave of his hand, a large summoning array formed in front of them.

Dense death energy surged from the array, constructing a portal.

One by one, Wraith Mages floated out from the portal, clutching bone staffs.

“Lich King, inscribe a protective array on this castle to fend off the monster siege not far away.”

“Understood, Master!”

The number of the Lich Legion wasn’t large; even when fully counted, it numbered only a thousand.

This was a proper magic legion; its powerful undead magic was exceptionally formidable against enemies.

However, Zi Liyuan wasn’t counting on these Wraith Mages to provide spell attacks; rather, he mostly used them for defense.
