Dorothy was riding on a camel in a small, lightly armed camel caravan composed entirely of corpse puppets. She used the eagle puppet's superhuman vision and her own spiritual vision to look at the sky and the earth in the distance, and soon discovered an abnormal phenomenon.
In the sky a few miles in front of the eagle corpse, Dorothy could see scattered ghosts floating in the air. There was one of them at a long distance apart. They faced the ground, leaned over and floated in the air, as if they were peeping at the earth.
On a desolate and flat land, Dorothy could see that there was a skeleton or zombie wandering every few hundred meters. They kept a fixed distance from each other, holding guns and moving forward in the desert with their mouths wide open, heading into the distance.
On the road to Karnak, countless dead were wandering in the sky and on the ground. Driven by some force, they were arranged in a huge and wide array at a distance of hundreds of meters. They patrolled non-stop, blocking the way for Dorothy's team to continue advancing towards Karnak.
"All these undead...are patrolling. It seems that they have completely monitored the area around Karnak to prevent anyone from approaching..."
Looking at the scene in the distance, Dorothy, sitting on a camel and wearing a sun-protective cloak, couldn't help but think in her heart that she knew that the people in the underworld would use the dead to warn, but she didn't expect that the warning range this time would be so huge and there would be so many dead to warn.
Then, Dorothy began to move in other directions. She explored the border of the undead warning line and drew the edge of the undead warning zone on the map in her mind. According to the width of the edge line, after a long period of exploration, Dorothy determined the center point of the large group of undead and the coverage of the entire warning zone, and then she couldn't help but be shocked.
"This... this range is a little too far. This warning area is so large. It's totally unexpected..."
According to Dorothy's calculations, the coverage area of the undead warning zone is extremely large. Starting from the city of Karnak, there are undead on guard within a radius of more than 30 kilometers. There is an undead every few hundred meters, and the huge warning circle is almost covered. Anyone who appears in their field of vision will be on guard, and they will even directly attack people who get close. During the exploration process, Dorothy saw with her own eyes a herdsman who was discovered by these undead and then approached and driven away. The herdsman was so scared that he abandoned his livestock and ran away immediately.
"A twenty-kilometer radius security zone, hundreds of undead being controlled... Is this something that an ordinary Silence Beyonder can do? There won't be any naked old ghosts in Karnak, right? Or have those people used some kind of props or methods to enhance their ability to control undead?"
Feeling the hugeness of the dead warning zone in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help but think with a serious expression. No matter what the real situation of the coffin in Karnak City was, this huge dead warning zone in front of her really made her feel difficult, because she couldn't think of any way to break through the huge warning zone without being detected and investigate the situation in Karnak.
In fact, from Dorothy's observation, these undead seemed to only react to humans and large animals approaching on the ground. Her small corpse puppet, in conjunction with the Ring of Shadow Barrier, could completely block the perception of these undead and sneak all the way in. However, the problem was that Dorothy's small corpse puppet could pass through the warning zone, but Dorothy herself could not.
There is an upper limit to the range of Dorothy's corpse puppet. Usually, the range is ten kilometers in radius from the body. The range can be extended by granting extra spiritual power, but the maximum is no more than twenty kilometers. In other words, the distance between Dorothy's body and the corpse puppet cannot exceed twenty kilometers.
Moreover, the scope of the dead warning zone in front of Dorothy was absurdly large. With Karnak as the center, the area with a radius of 30 kilometers was the warning zone, and the dead were scattered all over. This meant that if Dorothy wanted to send the small corpse doll into Karnak, her own body would have to go ten kilometers deep into the warning zone. As a humanoid target, she would be easily discovered, and once discovered, she would face huge risks.
The surrounding terrain is mostly desert plains, stretching as far as the eye can see without any shelter. It is impossible for a person of my size to hide on this plain where there is a corpse every few hundred meters, and there are undead sentinels on the ground and in the sky. Since I can't get close to Karnak for reconnaissance, I can't send my small corpse doll in.
"Shh... This is troublesome. If we can't collect intelligence, we can't formulate a strategy at all. I never thought that the people in the coffin could be so cruel as to set up such a large warning zone..."
Dorothy frowned and thought to herself. She was always cautious in her actions. Unless it was an emergency, she would not choose to act rashly when the intelligence was insufficient. Therefore, when faced with the huge security zone surrounding Karnak, she did not take risks, but chose to return to Dosa first and make plans later.
…
At night, in the headquarters of the Dosa Revolutionary Army, Advisor Ney sat on a chair, telling Commander Adam who was sitting opposite him about his investigation outside the city during the day. After hearing what Ney said, Adam could not help but speak with a distressed look.
"Before you, Mr. Ney, came back, I had already sent out scouts to investigate Karnak, but none of them came back successfully... I didn't expect that group of traitors would use so many undeads for surveillance... It seems that it will be very difficult to investigate the current situation in Karnak..."
Adam said this with a frown. Dorothy was slightly startled after hearing his words, and then asked her consultant Ney to ask Adam.
"Mr. Adam, with the current strength of Doza's army, are you sure to launch an attack in the absence of intelligence? We don't need to capture Karnak, we just need to push the front line to the city of Karnak."
Dorothy asked Ney this question. If the revolutionary army's front line could advance to within 20 kilometers of Karnak City, she could blend in with the army and get close to Karnak City, so that the corpse doll reconnaissance could play a role. After hearing Dorothy's words, Adam's distress did not change.
"This is probably very difficult. After the last defeat and retreat, the army's morale is very low. The fear of the undead is spreading everywhere, making the soldiers lose their fighting spirit. It will probably be difficult to organize an offensive in the short term.
"I have sent a telegram to General Shadi, explaining the current situation here and asking him to send more troops and weapons. Perhaps only after the reinforcements have boosted morale, we will be able to launch the next round of attacks."
