Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 733: Chapter 455: Taking the Initiative_2

His life was gone, how could he still enjoy anything!

As for subjects and the like, if they were all dead, he could simply find more later, at worst, just catch some alien races from the wild to fill the gaps.

Regarding the responsibility for the fallen town, of course, he would distance himself entirely and then find a scapegoat.

For example, the leader of the Human Corps, wasn’t he a great choice?

Who told him to be the first to run away, shaking the army’s morale, leading to the Human Corps fleeing before even engaging the sea monster? No wonder the corps soldiers fell apart.

The overseer sitting on the monster carriage was contemplating how to absolve himself of guilt, completely unaware that a shadow grew larger, enveloping his carriage.

Dilys swooped down, and when she was less than fifty meters from the monster carriage, she opened her bloodthirsty maw, releasing fiery dragon flames that erupted like a volcano.

Almost in an instant, it set the carriage ablaze.

The second-tier alien beast pulling the carriage was instantly consumed by dragon breath, turned to ash.

The carriage disintegrated in an instant, and the officials and their beautiful wives and concubines inside were engulfed by dragon breath, the next moment burned to embers, finally collapsing into dust, and scattered over the land beneath their feet, becoming a pile of fertilizer.

“This kind of scourge deserves to die.”

Zi Liyuan, expressionless, casually opened a spatial gate.

The rhythmic clattering of hooves resonated as squads of Dread Knights galloped through the spatial gate.

Led by fifth-tier Nightmare Knights, behind them marched a neatly formed legion of fourth-tier Dread Knight Lords.

Apart from the sound of hooves striking the ground, the entire cavalry legion made no other noise.

Row upon row of knights exuded a deathly aura, imparting a feeling of annihilation.

“Nightmare, lead the Legion of the Dread Knight King along the coastline, destroy every town, kill the officials and corps without mercy, and deceive the subjects into the ‘Land of the Dead.'”

“By your command, mighty master!”

Nightmare raised his pitch-black broadsword high with his right hand, pointing it at the town not far off.

“Kill!”

Where there was silence, the cavalry formation erupted suddenly with the thunderous roar of hooves.

These black-armored knights, clad in heavy armor, wielding long blades, and riding undead horses, transformed into a dark, metallic torrent, launching a charge.

A wave of deathly aura emanated from them, condensing into a dark cloud above their heads, casting shadows over the blazing sun, making everything around them appear ghostly and eerie.

“Dilys, let’s go, venture deeper into the continent and search for more bustling cities.”

Zi Liyuan realized that along the coastal frontier, there were more alien races than humans, and various alien races or monsters were active in the wilderness outside small towns.

Moreover, each alien race developed better than the garrison in the small towns.

One person and one dragon quickly delved inland, flying over several cities in quick succession.

The farther they traveled inland, the larger the cities grew. Meanwhile, alien activity in the wild began to dwindle, but while the numbers decreased, their quality increased.

Near the border, a second-tier alien was already impressive, but after a thousand kilometers, alien strengths were generally third-tier, with a few fourth-tier groups appearing.

Additionally, he noted that in those cities, the ratio of human corps to alien corps was roughly maintained at 1:1.

However, the combat strength of the Human Corps was inferior to the Alien Corps, and it was apparent that the Human Corps neglected training, their combat strength extremely limited, ranking at the bottom of same-tier units.

On the other hand, the Alien Corps were intensely formidable, persistently training in the barracks, their combat strength exceptionally strong, ranking mid to upper level within same-tier units.

“Interesting, really interesting. The Human Corps receives high salaries, yet they don’t train, extraordinarily lax;

While the Alien Corps receive low wages, yet they persistently train, maintaining combat strength;

What’s most interesting is that all the dirty work, hard work, and deadly tasks are done by the Alien Corps.

The Human Corps merely patrols the city to maintain a semblance of order.”

All the way there, Zi Liyuan noticed that those alien races held a hidden enmity towards the humans.

He casually captured several officials, and with minimal interrogation, he gained a wealth of useful intelligence.

In essence, it was because different races couldn’t understand each other’s hearts.

The old hag on Blue Star had suffered some lessons and thus maximized the exploitation and oppression of alien races.

These alien races dared not revolt because of the three-million-strong army of professionals wielded by the old hag.

Even if this army had decayed somewhat now, their combat strength remained astonishing; among them, 100,000 fifth-tier experts were not forces these alien races could resist.

There were past instances where alien races could not bear the extreme oppression and rebelled.

Typically, they would raise the flag of resistance one day, and by the next day, the entire alien race would be swept into the dustbin of history.

Perhaps the old hag had been bullied too much on Blue Star, merely licking boots to curry favor with foreigners, and thus the suppressed anger from humiliation burned in her heart.

Upon entering the Sea of Realms, wouldn’t this pent-up rage be unleashed?

She loved to torment and thoroughly destroy alien races, the Coalition of Nations, and those resisting the Wild Boar Skin.

“Let’s go, Dilys, we head to Tianxiang City.”

He let Nightmare lead the Legion of the Dread Knight King, cutting off the coastal defense line, to lure sea monsters to attack the mainland.

This would tempt the old hag to send out the army for suppression, allowing him to watch the tigers fight from the mountain. Once a victor emerged, he would bring troops forth to wipe out the opposing army.

As for the old hag sending out sixth-tier forces, all the better.

In the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, most of those sixth-tier forces relied on certain treasures to be forcibly elevated.

They had exhausted their potential, their combat power limited, ranked at the bottom of the sixth tier.

With Zi Liyuan’s current combat prowess, taking on five such opponents was no problem.

Not to mention, his allies, Lao Tie and Xiao Guang, shared bindings with him; when he broke through to the peak of the sixth tier, these two also broke through to the peak of the sixth tier.

Xiao Guang’s combat capability was formidable; even the Spider Queen found no way to deal with him, always ending up beaten passively.

Although Lao Tie’s template remained as an epic boss, his real combat power was stronger than Orochi; despite his shortcomings, he could still slay several sixth-tier entities in the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.

Tianxiang City was one of the four super cities under the old hag’s domain.

This city was considered the main city that suppressed the entire coastal region; once the coastline saw trouble, rapid troop deployments for resistance and suppression could occur.

Here, a permanent army of a million professionals was stationed, alongside a fifth-tier epic army of ten thousand men.

Both man and dragon did not directly enter the city but descended into a dense forest a hundred kilometers away.

Transformed into a human, Dilys pressed her voluptuous bear-like body against Zi Liyuan’s back. The two rode an off-road motorcycle, kicking up dust as they sped down the main road towards Tianxiang City.

Along the way, carriages, beast-drawn vehicles, mechanical vehicles… they were countless, rendering Zi Liyuan and his companion’s motorcycle inconspicuous.

The two quickly arrived outside Tianxiang City.

“What a large city, these walls must be at least fifty meters high, and they’re carved with countless intricate runes.”

Spirit had already spread out, with the entire layout of Tianxiang City vividly displayed on the map in his mind.

Compared to the cities they encountered before, this one was exceptionally prosperous.

Like a magnificent painting, towering city walls, orderly buildings, bustling markets, radiant lights, surging crowds, and the ceaseless flow of carriage gave an air redolent with historical ambiance.

Except for the somewhat incongruous military stationed at the city gate, everything appeared quite splendid.

“Line up! For entry, inspection is here. One Spirit Crystal per person, extra charges for goods!”

Just as they arrived at the city gate on their motorcycle, they were intercepted by human soldiers.

A gate officer instructed his men to stop Zi Liyuan while he brazenly ogled the tall and fierce Dilys with his beady eyes, a trace of lecherous lust gleaming obscenely in his gaze.

Dilys cast him a look of disgust, completely unhesitant as she unleashed her draconic majesty.

The peak fifth-tier epic boss’s dignity pressure crushed the twelve-city gate officials and soldiers to the ground.

“If you don’t want your eyes, I’d be happy to pluck them out.”
