Chapter 1368: Copperforge Dinner

[As I speculated before, the cultivation of mages will make their souls stronger. Even ordinary mages can have souls as strong as warriors at the Hundred Refining Realm level.]

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu.

There are thirty-nine Goblin Shamans, leaving aside the two who had reached the extraordinary realm during their lifetime, and the remaining thirty-seven, even if they were transformed by him into ordinary Undead Mages, each of them could help transform a few Undead soldiers. After one round, there would be at least more than a hundred of them.

Unlike the earlier skeleton soldiers who would fall down as soon as the mantra was lifted, the undead units can be accumulated slowly.

The more mages who possess the relevant mantra, the higher the accumulation efficiency will be.

Without time to think, Zhou Xu quickly signaled Gargamel to transform the corpses of the two transcendent goblin shamans into undead first.

Those corpses of ordinary level don't have much room for decline anyway, but it's different for the extraordinary level.

As time goes by, their soul power is depleted. The longer they delay, the more their soul power will be depleted.

If they move faster, maybe they will still be in the transcendent realm when they are pulled up this round. If they move slowly, they may fall from the transcendent realm and then transform into the undead. If they want to train back up, they will inevitably consume more energy.

After receiving the order, Gargamel moved quickly and became more skillful in performing the mantra than before.

Although the thirty-nine corpses of the Goblin Shamans in front of him are numerous, their strength is there, and converting them does not cost much.

As the power of the mantra spread, these goblin shamans were quickly transformed one after another by Gargamel.

After being transformed into undead, the two goblin shamans in the extraordinary realm possessed blue soul fire like Gargamel, but compared to Gargamel, the color of their soul fire was obviously not as deep as Gargamel's.

[Could it be that the color of soul fire is used to distinguish between mages and warriors? ]

Before Zhou Xu could think more, the dark green soul fire that ignited from the skull of an ordinary goblin shaman broke Zhou Xu's guess and gave him a new answer.

[The color of the soul fire represents the strength of the soul? ]

[In terms of combat power, the warriors of the Hundred Refining Realm and the mages of the Transcendent Realm are both superior, but in terms of soul strength, the mages of the Transcendent Realm are definitely better. So the soul fire of the warriors of the Hundred Refining Realm is still dark green, but the soul fire of the mages of the Transcendent Realm has already entered the 'blue' level? ]

[So what level does a warrior have to reach before his soul fire can turn blue? Can the Vajra Realm do this? ]

When a warrior practices, although it is his physical body that is tempered, the soul is still the source. As his strength increases, the strength of his soul will also increase, but the improvement is not as obvious as that of a magician.

With this question in mind, Zhou Xu became even more impatient to transform Blood Hand King into an undead.

Of course, out of caution, he had to recover more strength before that.

Before he could regain his strength, he had to attend the banquet of the dwarves in Copperforge.

Before setting off, the coalition members who were going to Copperforge to attend the banquet met first. Even Saint Laurent I, who had a relapse of his old injury from the previous night attack, showed up.

Mainly during this coalition operation, the Saint Laurent Empire gradually discovered that the newly emerged Great Zhou seemed to have good relations with all the forces within their coalition.

The dwarves of Copperforge and the warrior women of Mistyla City are their neighbors. Fisher and Peter, the leaders of the two parties in the Smith Republic, are also trying to make overtures to them. This has gradually created a sense of crisis in the Saint Laurent Empire.

You know, at this stage, judging from high-end combat power, Da Zhou and them are basically on par with each other. Under this premise, if Da Zhou and other forces in the coalition are allowed to form an alliance, wouldn't it be their Saint Laurent Empire that would be left alone?

This also forced Saint Laurent I, who had originally planned to stay in the camp to recuperate, to come out and do business.

When the two sides met, Saint Laurent I smiled and exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Zhou Xu, and then the group set off towards Tonglu Fort.

With Drogo leading the way, they seemed very familiar with the place. They also greeted some dwarves they met along the way in a familiar manner, which made Saint Laurent I and Marshal Adolf clearly realize that something bad was going to happen.

Just looking at the familiarity, the relationship between the Great Zhou and Copperforge is closer than they expected! After entering the Copperforge located inside the mountain, Saint Laurent I and Marshal Adolf felt even more nervous. Looking at Drogo, he was so familiar with this place that it was like taking a walk in his own home!

I almost told them, 'Don't bother, it's useless.'

During this period, Zhou Xu, like them, was here for the first time, but he had some knowledge about Tonglu Fort in advance, so he appeared calm at the moment.

The banquet was still held in the great hall. As soon as they arrived, the dwarves, led by Balai, came to greet them immediately.

The eldest prince, Balon, was leading his troops outside and had not returned yet. The Dwarf King Otto Copperforge had not shown up either. The most powerful person at the scene, Bale, took on the responsibility of greeting representatives from various countries with his son Baal and nephew Vol'jin.

As the supreme commander of the dwarves, during the early years of the coalition, Bale had come into contact with senior military officials from various countries.

But with subsequent developments, if we were to say who Tonglu Fort has the closest relationship with, it would still be the Great Zhou.

It was not only because of the timely support provided by the Great Zhou to them when facing the invasion of the Massacre Clan, but also because in the past two years, there have been many cooperative projects between Tonglu Fort and the Great Zhou, which have established a deeper cooperative relationship.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Of course, at this moment, as the host, Bale certainly cannot just take care of Da Zhou based on his own preferences.

After greeting Zhou Xu and chatting for a few words, he took his leave and turned around to take Bal and Woking to the seats of representatives from other forces and greeted them one by one.

The whole process did not last too long. The dwarves had already arrived, and they were just waiting for the coalition forces to arrive.

As soon as they arrived, after greeting everyone, Balai announced the start of the banquet.

"Our king is not feeling well, so I, Barai, will entertain you today on behalf of my elder brother Otto..."

As Bale spoke, he raised the glass in his hand and gave a toast.

King Otto's illness was simply mentioned in passing, as if it was no big deal.

However, everyone present here is a smart person, and for a moment, they have a lot of ideas in their minds.

The one who knows the most among them is undoubtedly the Great Zhou headed by Zhou Xu.

Two years ago, Xie Liancheng and his men came to support Copperforge. When they attended the banquet, King Otto showed up once. At that time, Xie Liancheng suspected that he was injured.

Later, according to Drogo's report, at the end of last autumn, facing the strong attack of the Massacre Clan, King Otto took action once, and he was indeed a strong man at the peak level of the Diamond Realm.

The fight against the King of Slaughter was fierce, but in the end no one was victorious.

King Otto has not been seen since then.

[Is King Otto seriously injured and bedridden, or is he already dead? ]
