"Although shadow energy can slow down the decay rate of the undead soldiers' bodies to a certain extent, it does not mean that they will not decay at all. If the corpses cannot absorb enough energy to turn the bones into ashes before they completely decay, they will not completely fall apart.
It will be extremely weak. The Undead Empire previously only focused on advancing and did not pay attention to this aspect. Now the first few batches of undead soldiers have collectively entered a state of serious decay, which has caused a considerable blow and impact on their military strength."
Sean was not so much answering Marshal Dikron's question as he was sorting out the intelligence absorbed from the Soul Fire of Oritandu, "This is the real reason why they agreed to sign an armistice contract with the Eastern Odin Empire.
They need time to build a real undead army."
"So that's it!" Marshal Dikron suddenly realized, "We should really take the initiative to make the matter bigger. Let's start with their other advance army. By the time we withdraw, I believe the other three marshals have already led the troops to press forward.
Got it!"
"I think so too!" Sean laughed loudly, "If they despise us, they must pay the corresponding price!"
After the Guards Corps completed a beautiful encirclement and reinforcements, they did not try to push forward the No. 7 Ashes Tower, but withdrew in the direction of the No. 1 Ashes Tower.
The Guards Corps is now running out of ammunition and food.
Continuous fierce fighting has long since dragged the soldiers into fatigue.
Holy Light Cannonballs and Holy Light Grenades had already been consumed by 7788 when pushing the fifth Ash Bones Tower.
It is all supported by the legion's combat skills, the battle artifact Ancestral Spirit Spear, and the sacred equipment modified by Sean using the newly acquired power of law.
This is why when we attacked the undead army of Oritandu earlier, the mortars did not show off at all, and the Holy Light grenade was only thrown once and there was no movement.
In this situation, if you try to forcefully push the No. 7 Tower of Ashes, you are literally risking the lives of soldiers.
Sean and Marshal Dixon stopped as soon as they got along, and prepared to focus on Ash Bones Tower No. 1, which had become an isolated island.
However, the Guards Corps is here to beat the enemy, not the main force in attacking the Ashes Tower No. 1.
The Skull Crushing Legion led by Marshal McGee, the Cliff Legion led by Marshal Locke, and the Ancestral Spirit Legion led by Marshal Yar are the ones.
After the round with the three major legions.
The first thing Sean did was to upgrade their military flag to the heroic military flag.
Of the more than 2,000 points of law power gained from pushing the Ash Bone Tower No. 6, Sean spent 150 points to transform fifteen gray bone war horses and reserved them for future research. The rest was not wasted.
Just prepare to use it at this time.
As for the entire process of attacking the Ashes Tower No. 1.
No more description is needed.
With just a Guards Corps, they pushed down five of their Ash Bone Towers in a row, and also killed one of their elite advance troops.
Not to mention how terrifying the power that exploded after the four main armies merged.
Under the protection of the four legions, after the four artillery battalions were set up, more than 200 artillery pieces of various types bombarded Prince Chagan's vanguard legion guarding the No. 1 Tower.
With such ferocious firepower, not to mention a super energy giant, even ten or eight would not be enough.
Before the Pioneer Legion exploded, the Ashes Tower No. 1 collapsed first.
The vanguard army exposed to the air has no chance of winning.
Then a scene appeared that stunned Sean and the others.
The entire undead army knelt down and surrendered.
They had seen many prisoners, but this was the first time they had seen undead prisoners.
Sean had to summon the other four giants to his side and held an emergency military meeting.
"Marshals, what do you think of this matter? Should we take these prisoners or not?" Sean asked straight to the point.
Although he did not show any fluctuations in his expression, it could be seen from his actions in summoning the four marshals that he was somewhat hesitant about this matter.
"Collect, why not?" Marshal McGee is always so straightforward, and sometimes his ideas are rather strange, "We have seen many living prisoners, but this is the first time we have seen dead prisoners. If we bring them back to the territory,
That’s such a honorable thing.”
"This matter needs to be done with caution." Marshal Locke pinched his gray beard habitually and said, "After all, there is a difference between life and death. Once surrendered, how will we deal with them? Put them in prison permanently?
Or are we going to surrender them and let them be used by us? Even if they really surrender, do we really dare to use them?"
"I don't think we have anything to say to these skeletons. It would be easiest to just blast them into the sky." Marshal Yal expressed his opinion in a sullen voice.
In the traditional concept of the Kentana people, death is a very sacred thing.
The brave will find another way to continue to protect their race.
The Empire of the Undead's breaking of the boundaries between life and death undoubtedly conflicts with their traditional concepts and is regarded by them as a cowardly act of escaping death.
"I think the key to accepting or not surrendering is whether we can benefit from it. If it is not profitable and it is causing trouble for ourselves, of course it is more cost-effective to eliminate them cleanly. If we can extract more from them,
If it's for your own benefit, there's no harm in keeping them here, since it will be easy to deal with them when the time comes."
Marshal Dixon threw the question back into Sean's hands, "It's just that this kind of enemy is too special. Whether it has any use value or not has to be judged by the lord. In our hands, we can only chop it with a knife."
When Dickron said it at the end, he obviously meant something.
He had seen with his own eyes before that Sean turned the enemy's gray-bone war horse into a tame tool that could be used by them.
Di Cron's opinion made Sean make up his mind: "Then let's stay for the time being. After all, the other party was once a prince. Even if it is of no use in research in the future, he might have his own unique ability against the undead empire."
It's useful, but it's only useful to those few undead and high-level undead, surrender them, and execute all the undead soldiers on the spot."
Although Sean has the ability to use the power of law to transform those Gray Bone Knights and Gray Bone Elites into his own undead soldiers.
But for him, the power of law is more precious, and he is not luxurious enough to use it.
The four marshals took the order and left. In this kind of indecisive decision, they would not get entangled with Sean.
In the face of absolute strength, Prince Chagan had no room for bargaining, so he obediently accepted the condition that the leader of the Yongye Army would only accept a few of their undead as prisoners, but the undead army would be destroyed on the spot.
After all, to them, the undead army is just something external. As long as they are still alive, they will have the opportunity to form a new undead army.
If you die, everything is in vain.
As for the lie that they will be reborn in the goddess after the soul fire is extinguished, it is just a lie to those stupid guys. At least Prince Chagan does not believe it.
After dismantling the Ashes Tower No. 1.
The leader of the Yongye Army launched a new round of advancement towards the Undead Empire.
This time they split into two.
The Guards Corps, which had replenished ammunition from the three major legions, was still an army alone. Sean's energy clone was accompanying him with the Spear of the Ancestral Spirit. He used his own maneuvering speed to penetrate wildly in the direction of the Undead Empire, preparing to catch them before they could react.
, pushing several towers in their hinterland.
The method still used is the combination of legion combat skills and the spear of the ancestral spirit. There are more deputy marshals in the territory on the way. As long as there is one more champion knight, and Dikron uses legion combat skills alternately, this
The combination is even more perfect.
The three legions formed one army and slowly pushed forward. Anyway, starting from the No. 7 Ash Bones Tower, they encountered each other and pushed forward one after another.
Those super energy giants summoned by the undead relying on the Ash Bones Tower cannot withstand the combat skills of the three legions at the same time.
It wasn't until the final harvest that Sean's soul beast took action.
The harvested power of law was invested in them again.
With the experience of the Armed Guards Corps, the order of investment is naturally more planned.
The first thing to rise to the top is naturally the Heroic Soul Army Flag, which can not only increase the safety of the souls of the fallen soldiers, but also enhance the lethality of the legion's combat skills.
The top-level Heroic Soul Banner also has a hidden feature.
Its attraction to the soul is indiscriminate, and soul fire is also a type of soul.
After the bodies of those undead soldiers are shattered, if they get too close to the heroic spirit flag, there is a chance that they will be directly absorbed by it.
For the soldiers of Eternal Night, the Heroic Soul Banner is a place of warmth and nourishment to protect their souls.
For the soul fire of undead soldiers, the Heroic Soul Banner is an incinerator. Unfortunately, their soul fire is attracted into it, waiting to be burned out as fuel, becoming the cornerstone of the Heroic Soul Banner's growth.
Then there are the sacred military emblems, sacred artillery and sacred weapons.
In short, the more towers you push, the easier it will be to push the next one.
They pushed back all the way, not only cutting off the tentacles of the Undead Empire that extended into the Kogel Grassland, they even pushed into their core hinterland and fought all the way to the City of Night.
…
The city of night.
The name lives up to its name, as the sky here remains dark all day long.
The occurrence of this unique phenomenon is naturally due to the Tower of Ashes and the canopy of the undead formed by it.
The same Tower of Ashes is not at the same level as the one pushed down by the leader of the Eternal Night Army.
The ashes tower here is obviously taller, and the sky of the undead formed is naturally taller, and the shadow energy filled in it is naturally richer.
The most important thing is that this is the core of the undead empire.
The Tower of Ashes is not like the ones that were pushed down by the leader of the Yongye Army, standing there thinly.
Instead, they are criss-crossed with towers of ashes to form a city dedicated to the undead.
It now covers an area of no less than 100,000 square kilometers.
And it is still expanding outward at a stable rate.
The gray mist is entangled, which is only the primary form of the undead sky. If someone goes deep into the city of night, they will find that it is not completely in a state of thick fog as they imagined.
The thick fog here floats hundreds of meters in the sky, forming a thick curtain-like existence here. It does not completely block the sunlight, but only filters it.
There is only some substance in the sun that is lethal to them, but it is not completely harmful to them.
Just like when they bathe in the sun, not only will they not be hurt, but the soul fire can also absorb part of the essence and grow slowly.
The High Undead Canopy plays the same role as the Moon.
No.
To be more precise, its role is still on the moon.
Because it is tailor-made for the undead.
As long as you bathe for a few hours every day, the sunlight purified by the Undead Canopy is enough to sustain the daily consumption of the middle and low-level undead souls, so that their soul fire will not exhaust over time.
The undead here are not like people outside imagine, standing there doing nothing, always preparing for killing.
Most of the undead are busy in an orderly manner.
What they do is very simple - collecting, transporting and processing bones.
These bones are identical to those that built the Tower of Ashes.
If Sean saw the situation here, he would definitely be shocked.
The Empire of the Undead is obviously following the path of industrial production. After preliminary processing of various materials, they are then transported to the construction site for assembly and construction.
This method seems cumbersome, but it can achieve the purpose of rapid construction.
This also explains why the Empire of the Undead's Tower of Ashes advances so quickly. As long as they have sufficient building materials, they can even turn the entire continent into a capital of night.
The premise is that they have so much building materials.
Don't forget that their building materials are not the earth and rocks that can be seen everywhere, but bones.
It is no exaggeration to call the Empire of the Undead an empire rising from the corpse of the Eastern Odin Empire.
The nutrients of the East Odin Empire have been absorbed by them and are almost used. It won't be long before the Undead Empire will also fall into financial crisis - the corpses are their finances.
"Your Majesty the Queen, starting last month, the supplies brought back by the search troops from outside began to decrease sharply, and now only 50% are left. I believe that this situation will further worsen. In less than three months,
The supplies brought back by the search troops from outside will be reduced to 10% until there is no more harvest." Prince Zana answered respectfully like a finance minister, holding a thick account book.
This is also true, he is now the Finance Minister of the Undead Empire.
Although Prince Zana, like Prince Chagan, was personally transformed into an undead by Queen Narentoya.
But it doesn't mean that they will become high-level undead 100%.
Prince Zana is one of the tragic ones. Although he became an immortal, he did not have the ability to transform others into immortals.
Even if you have a powerful force, it doesn't mean much.
But Prince Zana has his own way of survival.
That is to surrender to the banner of Queen Narentoa without any second thoughts and to get protection from her.
As a huge empire, the Empire of the Undead will continue to develop as long as it wants to grow, as long as it wants to be an empire.
There cannot be only military power.
Sure enough, what he learned during his lifetime found a new way out for him.
A centrally coordinating finance minister is indispensable to an empire.
Prince Zana is definitely one of the few low-level undead within the Undead Empire, but possesses a lofty status. Even those high-level undead who have an elite undead army respect him respectfully and do not dare to show any slights.
If they are deliberately made difficult by the other party when allocating resources in the future, they will most likely go out to fight under the scorching sun without a sacred sanctuary, which is a completely different matter.
