CHAPTER 526: CHARGE OF THE DEAD (1/2)
The overlords raised their heads blankly at Ferti’nier as she descended from the sky, Mo Na safely in her arms. The sheer beauty of her figure rendered them speechless. Let alone speak, they did not even wish to waste a single second breathing, lest they missed out on catching a glimpse of her.
“Ahem… this is Overlord Mo Ke…” Mournwraith tried to announce her arrival, but found himself stuck for words when he saw their reactions. Furthermore, his shadow was still whispering to him, “Stop talking, I’m trying to focus on lady Mo Ke!”
But I’m the one talking, not you… Mournwraith griped to himself. Yet was there anything more annoying than someone talking over their idol?
Seeing as the overlords on the ground were too busy gawking at Ferti’nier for the time being, she was more than happy to take the initiative in this negotiation.
“Excuse me but, I’m rather busy.” She unabashedly said, not even bothering to land on the ground as she addressed them from twenty meters in the air. She swept her eyes over the overlords awed by her presence, then continued, “I see that you’ve saved me the trouble of gathering you all up. In that case, let’s go meet the Undead army and be done with it.”
“…” Silence ensued for a merely second before, strangely enough, everyone started shuffling off like a bunch of a minions, a fact that couldn’t help but strike Mournwraith as odd…
“Brother, have you not been listening to lady Mo Ke? Hurry up and gather the youngins already. We need to get rid of those Undead right this instant. I can’t believe we had to trouble her ladyship to fly all the way here -what if her beauty were to get marred because of that?!” Mournwraith’s shadow anxiously pushed his counterpart. However, he seemed to have noticed that something was up with him. “Brother? Are you alright?”
“No… it’s fine…” Mournwraith thought about it for a second but brushed off his concerns in the end. Reassured and a little touched, he could at least see that this brother of his hadn’t suddenly forgotten about their bond just because of Ferti’nier. However…
“Well. Since you’re fine, what are you doing dawdling about for?!”

“…” Mournwraith almost wanted to kick himself at that point for even thinking his shadow cared about him… that Fallen Angel was just too scary…
“Aunty… they seem to be really obedient towards you…” Mo Na’s eyes sparkled as she looked up at Ferti’nier with puppy dog eyes. Furthermore, it wasn’t just her eyes that were extra sweet, that ‘aunty’ was as well; even Ferti’nier couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart.
To that, Ferti’nier smiled and nodded her head lightly: this little devil was quick on the uptake.
In the end, the various overlords took a mere half an hour to gather all the fighters of note in their clans. In this hodgepodge army, the lowest starred combatant was at least Five-star. Even so, the total amount still numbered in the tens of thousands!
Amongst the troops, the largest contributors had to be the Demon Fire Salamanders. Of the lower-starred warriors, they accounted for a third in total.
The Demon Fire Salamanders, out of all the clans in Purgatory, definitely numbered the greatest thanks to the number of Demon Fire Worms swimming throughout the lava pools. There was just no competition there.
Naturally, Ferti’nier had no interest in those beneath her. Plus, the Undead so happened to appear just when their troops had finished assembling.
Faced with a coalition army of the various clans, even Karlston had to take the battle seriously for once. Their army might have been able to run rampant throughout the individual territories, but a combined front was a different story entirely -unity is strength, and all that jazz.
