Rain would typically leave the air fresh The sudden north wind, however, brought with it a rotten, unco rain was unable to wash away the scent of death in the air For the new residents here, this was the smell of their home, and they hoped for this entire world to be distorted into becoical forest beside the former Port Victoria remained an impenetrable fortress
The open Diht outside Port Victoria were several dozen colossal Soul-Suic to distort this area They transforht that covered the skies
Surrounding these towering pillars of black light was a patch of distorted space Within it,so could be discerned This here the mortal plane intersected with the Desecration Plane, and undead were entering the mortal plane here every moment
With mountains of body parts piled up beside them, the liches were busy at work Upon arrival,a limb and required “spare parts” to be installed so that they could walk norh-level undead arrived, the first thing they would do was thank the heavens and the God of Fate’s protection for arriving safely Overlapping dimensions would cause their di between theerous ay in a thunderstore and power but luckelse
The Undead Emperors weren’t idiots and ell aware that this was a critical moment They had, in fact, spent numerous efforts and prepared endless plans just for this day, but nocould resist suddenfrom the current develop an entirely newto the Desecration Plane would have been completely wasted
A severe situation was now in front of the undead It was only by destroying this newly-born dimensional will that this area would be completely sed up by the Desecration Plane If the will awakened, it would begin a major counterattack which would render this Dimensional Door useless
Find a new location for a Dimensional Descent? First of all, hoould the undead convince the Bardi Ee sacrifice of its citizens when the undead hadn’t even achieved any combat results to show yet? The Undead Emperor Aso had paid a tre upon the otiate for it last time
And even if the undead were able to suppress the Bardi Eative opinions, the preparations they made at Port Victoria had taken far more than just one or two years In order to reach the level required for a Di Towers had been secretly active for many years, and the local citizens possessed more than five times than normal of Kasolan’s Tears in their bodies How many years would it take the undead to prepare another such location for a Dimensional Descent?
And it just so happened that when diainst each other, diood fortune rather than a bad one Low-level undead were cheap and plentiful, and there were countless low-level undead of all sorts in the Undead Planes It wouldn’t be considered a pity even if only thirty percent of the low-level undead e pity for mid-level undead and above
In the mortal plane, there was no such concept as ence were considered low-level, while those with intelligence were considered high-level However, in many Undead Planes, since the diressing to a certain rank (about Bronze or so) would cause the undead to regain their experience and intelligence Their overwhele reason why the undead countries in the Undead Planes flourished far ree of culture
No intelligent life for transformed back into a beast ruled by its instincts Since mid-level undead were considered as people back in their ho to becoain over here? “Mid-level undead” that lost their intelligence would be nothing er low-level undead, and their true poould be reduced to less than one-third This was quite an obvious waste
High-level undead were probably the most pitiful of all if you only look at their rate of birth Thatthat undead ar else was quite true, and using thousands of years of accule probability in dimensional teleportation was far too bad of a deal
Of course, the more powerful the existence, the better the odds of survival It was only natural that they would have a higher rate of surviving the dimensional teleportation Yet if they were unlucky andlike a time fissure, then even an Undead Eh the dimensional teleportation
No hest chance they had was only at fifty percent Ga thousands of years of accumulation on only a fifty percent probability was tantamount to a definite loss
But since the battle was at a critical junction, things like downsides and probabilities were ignored “Even if we lose everything, we have to take the strategic objective” beca call of the undead
It was quite obvious that the now flattened hills weren’t worth trading all those undead lives for, and even if they conquered it, it wouldn’t really bring theicunable to conquer it” or “conquering it too sloould both mean an iht now, this half-sealed new di ic objective in question The Order Gods were likely to intervene at anydimensional teleportation at the current tieous, they still sent in everything they had when they discovered that the newly-born di to escape their control
“Ah, I’ve arrived! I can see things here! I shall conquer… Roar!!!”
A lucky zoht, but he didn’t even have the tih to make it here before he lowered his head and pitifully howled A large a with it his hundreds of years of experience and wisdo, but the nextzombie He had becoround and chewing bones
“…Yet another unlucky fool that was brought here without understanding the situation”
A lich connected the zombie to itself with a death contract and ordered it to ly cootten used to it already
What arrived next was a death knight squadron that was injured and tattered all over Many of them had broken hands or broken feet, and they all supported each other as they barelyby how they were able to h-level undead They were considered elite reinforcees, so a lich iister thehts have all arrived I’ht squadron was actually a death knight lord on the level of an Undead Lord The lich cast “Death Breath” to help heal Alba as he registered the squad’s arrival, but before finishi+ng the registration, he hesitated He couldn’t help but ask a question
“All arrived? Aren’t the Blood Thorn Knights that incredibly faht squadron in the White Demon Valley district? I’ve heard that there should be over one hundred high-level undead knights…”
The lich was unable to say anything further as a pale white arht Alba’s face was filled with anger
Snap!
Should things be described as “everyone was happy in the end?” The lich proved the old saying of why it was suicidal to speak when you shouldn’t, and the death knight lord that lost so er on But, when Alba took a look at his brothers-in-arms behind him that were mostly dead and heavily injured, he couldn’t feel any satisfaction froer at all
“Without even arriving on the battlefield, our one hundred and thirty-six knights have become thirteen… that damned Aso! damned dimensional fissures! And damn this fate!”
But even if he co about his destiny to be cannon fodder Since the Undead Emperors had resolved themselves to pay any sacrifice necessary, even the Undead Lords were unable to escape their unlucky fates
While normal dimensional teleportation worked at a success rate of 40, that was just an average obtained from countless amounts of 0’s and 100’s There were hts who just happened to meet with a diroup that had less than a 10 survival rate
Even if he cursed the Undead E here, it wouldn’t change a thing They were the invaders here in the mortal plane, and they could only take this path to the end
This heavily injured death knight squadron was taken to the Soul-Su, and then these death knights’ natural talent in co soldiers would be put to use They would have to help organizeas there was a sufficient nuht was basically capable of leading an entire army
“Plants vs Zombies” continued outside, with the battles on the frontline never ending But if one paid close attention to the combat situation, one would notice that the undead had practically stopped sending out any h-level undead elites to deal with the forest Nu Towers, with large a overtime on them Fortress-level defense lines would soon be completed
Since the power of nue to the forest’s corowing stronger, not a single intelligent coer
The carounds were filled with reinforcement soldiers that had just arrived from the Desecration Plane It was obvious that the undead were accue-scale attack The s out extra unneeded scouts
Meanwhile, the wood spirits didn’t see to come out and proactively attack After all, as a newly-born species, they would suffer athe undead’s ca their home di It was only natural for them to not have the ability to proactively attack
The wood spirits were quite worried as well as they watched the undead continually gatherother than continually improve their defense lines, produce more of their own, and develop neeapons for coth in numbers would be insufficient The limitations in di here and retaining full power Their direct subordinates were too strong as well, and it would be quite difficult for them to descend Without a complete descent, the amount of usable power they’d have would be questionable Yet while it was unfeasible for theht I would return so quickly”
The lich Feyman strode out of a pillar into the mortal plane As he exclaimed about how mysterious the world was in its ways, he casually took some bones from a lich beside him in order to restore his lower half that had been destroyed during the dih Feyh to hts before hiiven to him specially by Undead Eh
As an Undead Lord that entered the Myth rank while in the est undead in all of Eich, the forht to be proud of hi side in Xiluo’s internal conflict, he was still well trusted and relied on by the Undead Euard leaders “familiar” with the world of Eich He was even taken in as a disciple by Undead E with the chance to understand the basic fundamental dimensional laws of the Desecration Plane
“Heh heh! O Just wait for et to you”
