Gisele had three of the biggest Pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure.

Those Pyramids were not far from Cairo, and even if a mirage did not occur, their deathlight could still reach close to Cairo through refraction at certain times. They were the main reason the Cairo Fortress existed.

The invasion from the Pyramid of Khafre came in four stages. The first stage was the harassment from the snake demons and scorpion demons. Once their numbers were reduced to a certain level, the front line of the undead would show up. The longer the deathlight shone on the undead's land and tombs, the more undead would be awakened and nurtured. The deathlight was like sunlight for the undead. When their sunlight shone on the land, it would give the soil energy and life… the undead that woke up were savage and aggressive, and would charge at living humans recklessly. This was the second stage of the invasion.

As the duration of the land's exposure to the deathlight increased, more powerful undead would be awakened by the soothing light. At the same time, the undead would evolve into stronger creatures. These high-level undead and mummies would show up more frequently in the battle.

The higher-level undead were usually followed by large groups of subordinates, especially the mummies.

The mummies were the masters of slaves, and had a certain status in the past. Countless slaves were buried with them. These mummies and the undead slaves were the real threat to the city. They were not like the ghouls and zombies that would wander aimlessly into the range of humans' spells. The troops led by mummies knew how to inflict the most damage on the human army. They were well-trained and considered elites...

The real battle began once a certain number of mummies woke up. The number of casualties would increase exponentially when that happened. The whole fortress would be under attack by the undead at that time, and even the places on the outskirts of Cairo would be swarmed by them.

The fighting would last for a long time; the land would be dyed red with blood. The situation was worse than anyone could imagine.

However, the third stage was not the scariest. The defending humans would be doomed when the fourth stage brought utter darkness upon them...

The undead mainly obtained their energy from the dead. They could be found easily in places that were brimming with the presence of death.

What kind of places had the highest numbers of the dead, and the strongest presence of death?

Wasn't it battlefields!?

Therefore, in the fourth stage, the soldiers, Mages, and Hunters that had just fought a tough battle would notice the comrades they used to fight alongside with turning into ravening monsters and lunging at them!

If they were not prepared for the fourth stage, an entire city might fall to the undead!

Mo Fan knew killing the young Medusa would bring a great disaster upon the fortress.

Once the news of the young Medusa's death reached the snake and scorpion demons, they would return and attack together with the undead that had been awakened in the second stage.

Mo Fan insisted on bearing the consequences of the things he did. Ethan might be scum, but he could not put the army, the Hunters, and the rest of the Mages in danger because of him. He had to force the snake and scorpion demons to retreat!

Mo Fan decided to use the Demon Element. The only way to drive an entire species back was by beating the crap out of them!

The young Medusa's death would only lead to something along the line of a Scorpion Lord Medusa attacking them at most. If Mo Fan could eliminate the Scorpion Lord Medusa, the rest of the demon creatures would collapse like a sheet of loose sand!

That being said, Mo Fan did not expect to have to use the Demon Element so quickly. He did not have the chance to fill the Essence Orb yet.

If the Essence Orb was not filled, not only might the Demon Element go out of control, the side effects of using it would be quite serious. He might fail to open the Gate of the Underworld in the end.

However, Mo Fan did not have any other choice. He could only take this one step at a time!

”I think we should let Haken worry about the demon creatures. Seriously, he can't just do nothing if he's one of the Commanders, right? We are risking our lives to drive the army of undead back while they are sitting in their comfortable chairs and waiting for our results? It's not like they are going to suffer any losses if we all die in the Pyramid, but if we do succeed, wouldn't we be lifting all their burdens?” Zhao Manyan said.

”But I did kill the young Medusa...” Mo Fan said with a troubled look.

Mo Fan did not feel confident that he could open the Gate of the Underworld if he used the Demon Element right at the start.

”F**k, we almost took out the Great Pyramid of Giza. If we hadn't dealt with the Great Pyramid of Giza in Beijiang, would they still be in such a comfortable situation now? Who cares if you killed the young Medusa, these assh**** couldn't even look after the things in their country, which came to our country to stir up trouble! We are already being merciful when we don't hold them responsible for it!” Zhao Manyan said.

”Mm, that's exactly what I thought, but I feel a lot better when it comes out of your mouth, HAHAHA!” Mo Fan burst out laughing.
