A deafening roar echoed through the air, followed by a huge body made of gray bones, with a pair of skeletal wings, shrouding the dark clouds. Their edges were clearly visible when they were fully extended!
The Nether Bone Dragon!
Mo Fan recognized the creature. It was the creature responsible for destroying the outer wall of the Ancient Capital. Mo Fan clearly remembered the great shock the creature gave him when it flew across the sky above the Ancient Capital!
The captain of the Imperial Mages was supposed to have taken the Nether Bone Ruler with him into the Dark Abyss. To Mo Fan's surprise, the creature had come back to life again!
It turned out that the undead would not perish so easily, especially the higher-level ones!
The Nether Bone Dragon beat its wings and soared into the sky. Its shadow loomed over an army of skeletons waving their bloody weapons around. The skeletons were like a flowing white river streaming down from the mountains. Their numbers were so insane that it was impossible to distinguish between the sky and the ground.
The ground continued to crack apart. The Nether Bone Dragon was the commander of the army of skeletons, while the Mountain Zombie was the commander of the army of zombies. Corpses emerged from the ground; this army was mostly made up of rotting zombies that were the lowest-level species among the army. They immediately filled the areas that the undead from Egypt had left vacant. The army of true zombies was still massive, even if one was to exclude the countless rotten zombies. Their size made them stand out among the rotten zombies.
There were Corpse Generals and Corpse Officials, too. The Corpse Officials were even more eye-catching, their massive figures standing out. Almost every zombie troop had a Corpse Official leading them. The majority of the Corpse Officials were the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials. They remained close to the Mountain Zombie!
The Flesh Mound Corpse Officials opened their mouths and devoured the zombies nearby, like they were drinking water. The vacant space inside their bodies was far bigger than their actual size. Their stomachs did not bloat even after swallowing thousands of zombies!
The Mountain Zombie's strength was remarkable, and he needed something he could hurl at the enemy. He had acted like a catapult during the battle at the Ancient Capital. He was capable of rapidly destroying the interior of a city!
The Mountain Zombie waited until the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials were done 'reloading'. He grabbed the Corpse Officials and pitched them in the direction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, one by one!
The enormous Corpse Officials flew under the clouds like missiles, smashing a huge bunch of Underworld creatures into pieces wherever they landed. The Enslaved, the Yoked, and the mummies were under heavy fire. The vicinity of the Great Pyramid of Giza was soon covered in blood and bones...
One of the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials that the Mountain Zombie pitched out with greater force slammed heavily into the glowing Great Pyramid of Giza!
The Pyramid remained firm, but the deathlight it was emitting flickered and weakened slightly.
The Flesh Mound Corpse Official was embedded on the stairs of the Pyramid. The rotten zombies poured out of its mouth like a rapid stream.
The Flesh Mound Corpse Official was carrying over two thousand undead, including some Warrior-level undead. Their sudden appearance on the Great Pyramid of Giza was a great humiliation to Osiris!
The undead were soon crawling on the Great Pyramid of Giza and worrying at it. Ten aloof Dark Swordmasters were guarding the entrance of the Pyramid. Their eyes burst into green flames, and these guardians that were standing like statues reacted quickly. They jumped onto the magnificent Pyramid and flung their swords of darkness at the undead crawling all over the Pyramid!
The Dark Swordmasters were insanely strong. The Flesh Mound Corpse Official and the thousands of undead were no match for them. The undead on the Great Pyramid of Giza were all slain in no time...
The undead had died very quickly, but the loss was negligible to the Ancient Capital's kingdom of undead. A few more Flesh Mound Corpse Officials were soon pitched onto the Great Pyramid of Giza again. Once again, it did not take the Dark Swordmasters much time to kill the undead, but the Pyramid was now stained with gore and filth. The deathlight it was emitting dimmed significantly, too!
In addition to the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials that landed on the Great Pyramid of Giza, the number of Flesh Mound Corpse Officials that landed in the vicinity of the Pyramid was quite shocking, too. The Mountain Zombie had tossed more than thirty Flesh Mound Corpse Officials at the Pyramid!
Thirty Flesh Mound Corpse Officials, each carrying nearly three thousand undead with them; in other words, more than fifty thousand undead had landed in the vicinity of the Great Pyramid of Giza!
The Dark Swordmasters might be strong, since they were Ruler-level creatures, but they would still struggle to kill fifty thousand undead in a short period of time!
The entire army of the Underworld had moved out, leaving only the Dark Swordmasters and a few powerful mummies to defend the Pyramid. Osiris immediately panicked when the undead of the Ancient Capital suddenly showed up around the Pyramid. He immediately ordered his army to retreat and defend the Pyramid!
The army of the Underworld that had just arrived at the Squaretrek Plain had no choice but to return to the Great Pyramid of Giza to eliminate the undead that the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials had delivered. The vanguard troops of the Underworld army had no choice but to hold their positions, knowing the Pyramid's defense had been compromised.
