The other captains immediately ordered their troops to focus on the Yoked whose Curses had faded away. Those Yoked's defenses were not as impressive as before. After a few waves of attacks, the undead were blasted to pieces by the intertwining lightning, fire, and wind!

”What's going on?” The aide-de-camp was confused when he noticed the drop in the Yoked's defense.

”I understand now! Those Curses must have enhanced these undeads defenses! Did you notice how similar the glowing Curses are to the Curses on the Underworld Monarch Frog? These Yoked are enslaved by the Underworld Monarch Frog, so the Curses must be something the Underworld Monarch Frog granted them to boost their defense! Once they lost their connection to the Underworld Monarch Frog, they are just a bunch of ordinary undead!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

The Underworld Curses were similar to the Baxia Seal that he had obtained from the wooden clapper. The Baxia Seal was able to strengthen his defensive spells, endowing him with an outstanding defense.

Previously, the defenses and magic immunity of the Yoked were comparable to a Commander-level creature. The question was... were these low-level undead really that strong?

There had to be a reason behind it!

”I assume we can treat the Underworld Monarch Frog as the heart of a formation, and the Yoked are its lattice points. If the lattice points aren't connected to the heart of the formation to maintain it, the Yoked that aren't within the formation will lose the effects of the Curses! When the Yoked were trapped by the walls, and their movement was restricted by the increased gravity, they were no longer able to stay in formation with the rest of the army… I was wondering why they were advancing so slowly, when their speed wasn't particularly slow. It seems it was because they were trying to stay inside the formation,” Lingling agreed after thinking.

If the Yoked were so strong that they were not even afraid of Super Spells, the undead would have overrun Egypt long ago. Lingling had been observing the undead since the battle began. Luckily, Commander Bin Wei had inherited the power of controlling the ancient wall. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to notice the undead's weakness when they were advancing in such an orderly manner.

”So does that mean we should be able to eliminate them quickly, if we keep repeating the same tactic? Should we withdraw the evacuation order too?” the aide-de-camp asked.

Commander Bin Wei shook her head and said, ”Look at the Underworld Monarch Frog.”

The soldiers were confused. The Underworld Monarch Frog was not really contributing; it was just ordering the Yoked to charge at the enemy. However, the Underworld Monarch Frog was moving very slowly. It had to rely on the Yoked to drag its extremely heavy body forward. If the Yoked stopped advancing, it would remain in the same spot.

In some ways, the Underworld Monarch Frog was not necessarily the greatest threat to them, if it relied on the Yoked to move around!

”I don't think the Underworld Monarch Frog is a threat to us. It might have the presence of a Ruler-level creature, but the danger is mainly from the savage and brutal Yoked. I bet the Underworld Monarch Frog is just a mere display,” an advisor said.

”Chang Yi, engage the enemy, use all you have to eliminate them,” Commander Bin Wei placed Chang Yi in charge. She turned to the rest of the commanding authority and said, ”You haven't seen everything yet. Follow me.”

Bin Wei waved her hand without using any magic. A demon flower blossomed under their feet. Several vines rose rapidly, lifting the demon lily into the sky.

Zhao Manyan, Lingling, the aide-de-camp, and the advisors rose higher into the sky. The height of the ancient wall was around fifty meters. If they continued to rise, they would soon reach a height of a hundred meters...

Yellow dust lingered in the air. However, as the demon lily continued to rise, the dust gradually cleared up. The magnificent wall slowly faded into the distance below them, although its outline still served as a great contrast to the tiny undead.

The giant Underworld Monarch Frog was a lot smaller, too. The group could finally see the land behind it...

”Did you see it now?” Bin Wei said.

”Is...is that a chain?” Zhao Manyan blurted out in shock.

There was a chain coming out of the Underworld Monarch Frog's body. It dangled above the vast yellow land, went past the hills, crossed a long ravine and spacious field shrouded by dust… it continued to extend into the distance, beyond their range of vision. They had no idea what the other end of the chain was connected to!

Everyone was already terrified when they saw the Yoked being chained to the Underworld Monarch Frog. To the advisors and the aide-de-camp's surprise, the Underworld Monarch Frog was not the end of it. The Underworld Monarch Frog was dragging something too! The chain had gone beyond the horizon. It felt like there was something bigger and unknown slowly being dragged forth by the Yoked and the Underworld Monarch Frog, into the mundane world!

Zhao Manyan felt like his brain was about to explode!

What exactly was the thing behind the Underworld Monarch Frog!?

What kind of existence would a Ruler-level creature be hauling like a slave?
