[Current Soul Strength is 420 points.]

“My soul strength far exceeds expectations…”

Noland Lee stood at the foot of the fortress wall, his body hidden in the shadows, and a few corpses of soldiers lay at his feet.

The soldiers’ deaths were not Noland Lee’s doing.

They had fought intensely against the undead creatures on the wall and were accidentally hit by the enemy, falling to their death from the wall, and only then did they become the subjects of Noland Lee’s soul fragment collection.

Noland Lee looked up at the city walls with solemn eyes.

After the Dark Wrathful Spirits and Skeleton Colossi, the Undead Cult monks and priests had also entered the stage.

Noland Lee saw the splash of Cavern Evil Spiders’ spider webs across the sky above and falling onto the streets of the city, where they then exploded into a sticky web.

He also heard the sounds of Cavern Evil Spiders releasing Stinkbug Flies.

The flies’ stench and the sound of their buzzing as they flew scraped against the wall, and in an instant, they took the lives of the soldiers.

This Cavern Evil Spider died quickly under the artillery fire, but its death did not stop the Undead Army from continuing to attack.

More Cavern Evil Spiders used their silk as towlines to jump on from the outside of the city walls, engaging Imperial soldiers in close combat.

The Legion had no choice but to deploy more “Imperial Fists” to respond to the situation on the walls.

Worse still, the Cavern Evil Spiders had allies.

Inside the Undead Cult, the battle areas seemed to be divided according to factions.

The Cavern Evil Spiders obeyed the commands of the Spider Mother and belonged to the Resentment Faction. They appeared in groups on the northern walls of the Legion Fortress, where Noland Lee was at.

Frost Skeleton Mages belonged to the Stubborn Faction, under the command of the Frost Demon Bone. They launched their attacks from the western part of the Legion Fortress.

Appearing in the southern part of the Legion Fortress were War Spirits.

They had the ability to summon undead troops on the spot and could even summon undead cannons and confront Imperial soldiers after a long preparation for casting.

The War Spirits came from the Undead Cult – Insanity Faction.

As to who the mastermind of the Insanity Faction was, Noland Lee had no idea.

Anyway, these extraordinary undead creatures capable of individual and group battles were much harder to deal with than the Cavern Evil Spiders and Skeleton Mages.

In the eastern part of the Legion Fortress, where the steam train platform and tracks were located, the Stitched Creatures, led by the Spectral Ripper and Tomb Skeleton Soldiers, had become the main force.

Noland Lee had wandered around there briefly, collecting all the soul fragments he could but could not find the extraordinary undead spirits controlling the Stitched Creature army nor could he determine which faction they belonged to.
