"Let's all attack together." Seeing that the Temple Alliance was doomed, Jiang Yan gave the order directly.
The three-headed bone dragon and two demigod-level skeletons behind them nodded silently and flew down.
In an instant, fire and frost covered the entire battlefield. A dragon in a duchy-level battlefield was like a nuclear weapon.
However, the Temple Alliance Army lived up to its reputation as an elite force.
They held out for more than ten hours despite being besieged by a million-strong army of skeletons and facing an ever-growing number of enemies.
Many devout temple warriors even self-destructed to avoid being enslaved.
However, this trick works against ordinary skeleton mages, but under the control of the undead emperor's exclusive necromancy, the shattered flesh and blood will reassemble.
Despite verbally refusing, the temple's elite warriors ultimately served the underworld faithfully.
Those undead warriors who died in the war were also resurrected under the effect of "Resurrection of the Dead".
After the battle, they were unscathed and even had nearly 200,000 elite troops left.
[You have gained 3 million experience points and have been promoted to Diamond Tier 2]
Looking at the prompt panel, Jiang Yan shook his head slightly. Why are all these realms getting stingier and stingier? They only gave a pitiful amount of experience.
"Your Majesty, what are the next orders?" Sheena asked.
According to her plan, she would naturally continue to wreak havoc everywhere, but since the Emperor had arrived, she had to follow his arrangements.
Jiang Yan weighed the fragment of the Seed of Harvest in his hand. Thanks to Xina's efforts, he had accumulated more than 5 million Death Essence, and summoning the second Necropolis Hero was just around the corner.
"Didn't those false gods issue a divine decree to resist the army of the dead? How can we let them down?"
Jiang Yan turned around and smiled: "I'll leave it to you. If those false gods suffer, I'll take action."
He is now full of confidence. With more than 5 million Death Essence, those weaklings who are just like him in his previous life can be killed as soon as they show their faces!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, Xina became excited, her crimson eyes flashing: "Can I kill them all?"
"Uh... the same old rule, kill the bad guys, leave the good guys behind," Jiang Yan said helplessly.
"Okay." Hina was immediately deflated.
—From what she knew, those enemies usually had little backbone, and in life-or-death situations, they were easily seduced by those birdmen to believe in the Holy Light, which is what they called "good people".
Only a very few resolute and courageous individuals dare to face death and become part of the undead army.
"By the way, I heard from the giant eagle that you've finished the candy I gave you last time?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yan smiled slightly, took out a large porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it over: "This is a brand new version modified by a spirit food master. Some soul fragments have been added. The struggling taste is like popping candy. You can try it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sheena accepted the porcelain bottle with a hint of surprise, and a smile returned to her lips.
This should be the second time the Emperor has given her something. I heard that those birdmen haven't given her anything even once. I suppose the Emperor understands that those angels are just decorative, while the dead are the most trustworthy and reliable force.
"I'm glad you like it." Jiang Yan smiled as he looked at Xina, who had suddenly become happy.
Being able to properly care about the mental health of one's subordinates is also a skill that an excellent lord should possess.
After all, when you're in a good mood, you'll work harder.
"Alright, it's time to get going," Jiang Yan said, glancing at the cleaned-up battlefield below.
We can't wait any longer at the Abyss Passage. If those monsters break through the front lines, it will be difficult to control them.
Under their command, the massive undead army was orderly divided into two groups.
Sheena led a million-strong horde of skeletons, abominations, and three bone dragons to Gale City.
Jiang Yan then led the Temple Undead Legion back to the front lines of the Abyss.
......
Meanwhile, in the far north, far from the Northland Alliance, lies a land filled with death and ruins.
Two crows flew down from the sky and transformed into two sickles.
“Crow, I don’t understand why we have to become like this,” one of the crows said.
"Do you want to become an undead? The kind who mines underground 24/7, and if their hand breaks, they find discarded bones to reattach and keep going," another crow said.
"Of course not!"
"Then listen to me, this gentleman likes this look."
“Well, what peculiar taste,” the crow said listlessly.
"Let's go, but don't say anything out of line once we're inside."
Two crows, transformed into scythes, entered the ruins, bowed respectfully, and called out: "Powerful Lord of the Abyss of the Dead, Lord of the Harvest who controls the death of all living beings, please show yourself."
There was no reaction in the entire space, but the two crows slightly bent the hilts of their knives and waited patiently.
Half an hour later, the skeletons on the ground began to tremble, and the tremors became more and more violent.
The earth collapsed from the middle, and a dragon-shaped monster pieced together from various bones slowly rose to the surface.
On its back is a man holding a scythe, wearing a black robe, whose face, hidden by the clothing, is as thin as a skeleton.
He looked at the two crows that had transformed into scythes and said with satisfaction, "They do know some manners. Now, tell me, what brings you here?"
"My lord, we have come to convey the orders of the Lord of the Dead." As he spoke, a scythe tossed out a black token.
The token hovered in the air, with the two characters "Imperial Decree" engraved in the center projecting two lines of text.
"Your Majesty, Lord of the Reaper of the Necromancer Empire, depart immediately for the Northland Alliance and bring back the unknown undead. Do not fail."
"Northern Erland Alliance, where is that?" The thin man paused for a moment, took out a tattered map and examined it carefully for a long time before finally finding the name in a barely noticeable area in the lower left corner.
He immediately frowned and said, "Too far, I won't go."
As he spoke, he prepared to return to the deep underground pit.
"My lord, but this is the Lord of the Dead's order..."
"A guy who dares to dream of stealing a divine position but doesn't even bother with his appearance, actually thinks he's the Emperor of the Dead?" the thin man sneered.
"If it doesn't take much effort, I might be able to give him some face. But it's so far away, let whoever wants to go go."
"My lord, the Lord of the Undead says that the undead that appeared over there are very similar to the heroic spirit of Sheena, known as the 'Eternal Fallen Elf' and 'Master of the Necromancer Arrow,' who is shown in the Imperial Treasure Ancient Album. He suspects that she is also someone who somehow learned the secrets of the ancient undead world and wants to steal the throne."
"A crow said hastily."
"oh?"
The skeleton man stopped sinking, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The gods of the underworld are very mysterious, and ordinary people have no idea what they are.
Their Necropolis Empire also unexpectedly obtained an ancient treasure book, which recorded the powerful gods of the undead realm, thus enabling them to know so many secrets.
It's likely that the ghost that imitated "Sheena" must have also obtained some secrets of the underworld.
“Interesting, then it’s worth the trip.”
The skeletal man paused slightly on his scythe, and countless undead creatures rose from the ground, including some mid- to high-level god-like beings.
Then, he took out a pair of deep red magic lenses from his pocket, pried open his eyes, and stuffed them in.
"Set off."
