[It looks like we’re all there.]
Artrot stopped the motorcycle.
Transform into a human and get off.
I looked ahead for a moment.
A huge cubic cube floating in the sky.
The central gate of the empire can be seen rotating rapidly high in the sky.
We arrived at the invasion force gate.
I observed the gate for a moment.
The gate was originally a cube, but it was so fast that it just looked like a sphere.
In other words, it is in operating state.
Tiring~
◎︎ You have entered range of Edelin Gate 27 (temporarily activated).
◎︎ You can move to the designated area.
Unlike gates that rip apart dimensions by striking with chains, gates that are always in operation are not very dangerous. Therefore, the Uk tribe’s camp was set up underneath it.
At first glance, 4-5 thousand.
As the disciple said, the number of troops guarding this place was only a few thousand.
Then there is nothing difficult.
“Is that a human?”
“Why here… .”
A corpse explosion combo that catches the Cyan Dead off guard.
There is nothing to explain.
It was just a massacre.
Because it was an open area, it was easier than when it was Netrion City.
Their encampment was shattered, and the massacred invasion force was reborn as an undead army. Because I couldn’t recover all my mana, I was only able to create an army of 1,000, but this is a problem that will be resolved over time.
Then the next step is decided.
Recover mana.
Bodies piled up like a mountain and cremated.
A body thrown away carelessly.
The former as a skeleton.
The latter is a zombie.
I created an army. As time goes by, my army will grow.
A day passed like that, and in two days, a total of about 3,000 undead legions were created here.
But it’s not enough.
A huge cubic cube floating in the sky. Since it is the entrance to the only operational tower in Edelin, they will attack this place no matter what.
We need to train as many undead as possible.
before they come.
If I go on a rampage when the Allied Forces attack, it will be difficult for the enemies to stop me, so considering that, they will come to retake this place within a week.
As soon as mana was recovered from the intact tent used by the Uk tribe, undead were raised.
But this alone is not enough.
Therefore, I dug a trap.
This is an open area, so it’s difficult to dig a trap, but it doesn’t really matter to me.
“Dig the soil and bury the body at regular intervals.”
All you have to do is send an army of undead to create a corpse trap surrounding the gate.
Over 10,000 corpses.
Even if I spend all my mana, it is impossible to turn all these corpses into undead. In that case, it is better to use it as a trap.
After burying the bodies, a magic circle was drawn to cause a series of explosions. In this way, all corpses can be exploded with a single signal.
If you pass by here… .
You will be pierced to death by the shattered pieces of flesh and bone rising from the ground into the sky.
Even if you notice this, you have no choice but to suffer. It’s a shame because it’s over there.
If you want to occupy the gate, you will have to endure it.
So, we set up a camp all day long.
Another day passed like that.
*
“Whoop whoop.”
I relaxed my lotus position.
While building walls and digging traps with the undead, I stayed motionless and focused on mana breathing all night long.
The current undead army is about 5,000.
For reference, with my capabilities, I can probably control up to 20,000. This is because leadership of the undead army depends on morale and mental strength.
In other words, he can control more than all the undead legions of Necropolis followers that caused trouble at the training camp combined.
But time and mana are lacking.
By the time the enemy comes, there will only be around 10,000.
The good news is that there are still scams left.
My morale is several times higher than my mana, so I don’t have much chance of depleting it. So what can we do with this surplus fraud?
Okay.
Two 8-star Uk warriors guarding this place.
I looked down at the body.
This is a guy who said he was a noble warrior and came at me with evil intentions.
The stronger the undead, the stronger the undead. Rather than reviving low-level undead, it is more advantageous to produce high-level undead, such as a death knight, if possible.
Death Knights can use almost the same strength as when they were alive, and their intelligence is mostly maintained.
He will become an excellent commander of the undead army.
Instead, the stronger the corpse, the bigger the scam that preys on it, making it difficult to produce easily.
That’s not all.
Horn replication.
Corruption.
Alternatively, it may be necessary to submerge the bone in an elixir or carve an artificial circuit into the bone to provide assistance.
I plan to omit some of these, so there will not be a Death Knight with luxurious performance like Lauf, but it is not a loss-making business.
Today we will work on advanced power generation.
chuck.
I took over the gate and placed the two 8-star corpses in front of me.
That is.
Damn it!!
It may be a bit cruel, but all the flesh was separated from the bones, and the bones were washed once with magic to maintain their shape.
He then reached out to the corpse’s chest.
Black energy in the hand. It encapsulates pure fraud.
If you look at the numbers, it’s a fraud of about 700.
Morale regenerates slower than mana, but now is not the time to think about that. A chunk of fraud that would become the magic core was embedded in the center of the chest.
It’s cheap~
Fraud eats away at your bones.
The bones began to turn black.
Tiring!!
◎︎ Use partial handprinting.
Afterwards, one finger becomes a hand person. I pulled out my fingernails, covered them with porcelain, and drew a path like a blood vein on the bones, imitating the mana circuit. When black magic was injected into that place, changes began as it circulated through the magic core and through the bones.
Unlike the Lich, it has a fixed core, but the Death Knight has a similar structure in that it can preserve its life as long as it protects it.
Afterwards, the ritual was attempted.
Bringing back a soul that has already left requires a lot of preparation. Therefore, they attempted a ritual by drawing a magic circle with their blood and injecting morale into their flesh as a sacrifice.
Horn manufacturing.
ᚺᚮᚾ᛬ᛃᛅᛋᛍᚬ.
This is a ritual famous for gaslighting nobles by warlocks, claiming it was a resurrection ritual, but… Originally, it was a ritual used to create undead in case the soul could not be saved.
fusion.
ᚢᚦᚿᚠᚨᚾ.
Hwiyuwoong~
The flesh and blood came together and became something red of any shape. I picked it up and fused it to the magical core that was in the process of eating away at my bones.
This will be your new life that draws mana and produces magic power.
But circulation is still slow.
It takes time to wake up.
blast furnace.
By directly contacting the magic core, it controlled morale and circulated it so that it evenly eroded the bones.
So I concentrated on manufacturing the Death Knight until night.
I assure you.
These two will be of great help.
*
Day 4 of gate capture.
Please give “ command. Lord.”
“Master. Do you have something to do?”
Two death knights made of giant Uk bones kneeled down to me.
Both of them feel mid-7 star strength.
Although he has become greatly weakened compared to when he was alive when he was an 8-star, his pure power itself is strong enough to compete with Rauf when we first met him.
However, the logic is weak.
It seems like my memory has almost disappeared.
His intelligence was mediocre and he had no emotions in life. Even if the two of them combined, they wouldn’t be able to beat Rauf.
Moreover, one guy’s loyalty is at an ordinary level. If you grow a little or have more undead, you may be able to escape control.
Well, there’s no need to worry about it.
Because even if you don’t like it, you can’t escape it.
Because everyone will die in war.
“You two should fight.”
“I understand. My lord.”
“I understand.”
Kang!!
Get it!~
At my command, the two clashed their axes without hesitation. After taking a quick look, it seemed like he was imitating about 2/3 of his skills from when he was alive.
The performance has been greatly weakened due to haste, but this is enough for now.
After all, their role is to command the undead.
I feel like I wasted high-quality ingredients… .
Let’s move on.
“You command the undead and bury the bodies in the ground at regular intervals so that they are not easily visible.”
“Okay.”
“I will.”
Loyal No. 1.
A somewhat arrogant number 2.
If those two join together, work efficiency will increase.
Instead, I wasted too much morale.
There are currently about 700 scams remaining.
There is less than half left.
In the first place, I completely skipped the process of instilling and creating morale that took days and days of painstaking work.
This is something that we have no choice but to endure.
So what should we do now?
Mana can be recovered in 2-3 days, and can be reduced by half by concentrating on mana breathing, but morale is a completely different concept.
Not a basic stat, but a dependent stat.
In other words, it is close to mental power.
Of course, like mana breathing, it does not recover quickly even if you concentrate. Morale is restored by being affected by mental power, and in my case, it takes at least 10 days to fully recover after being depleted.
So should I just wait?
That’s not it again.
Unlike mana, morale can be fully replenished in just one or two hours if you want.
The method is… .
chuck.
We headed to a place where corpses were piled up like a mountain.
The gate contains approximately 17,000 corpses, both Uk and human.
double.
5,000 bodies as traps.
3,000 bodies are undead.
About 9,000 bodies remain.
It’s an overflowing amount.
blast furnace.
Fraud extraction.
ᛋᚬᚳᚺᚱᚬᛌᛅᛚ.
Shuaa~
A black energy rose from hundreds of corpses.
Mora is essentially the energy of the dead. This way you can recover easily.
Instead, the corpses from which the morale has been extracted cannot be raised to undead, and the corpse explosion does not work, but there are still plenty of corpses left.
I just absorbed the black energy with my whole body. Many people’s thoughts come in and try to eat away at my spirit, but I have no choice.
Everything is distorted in my mental world.
I stretched out one hand and took out the waste.
It wasn’t difficult because I had mastered it since my previous life.
Morale will not be restored if you blindly accept it. As just before, we must filter out thoughts and impurities and extract only the pure energy of death.
I concentrated like that for about an hour.
Morale has recovered quite a bit.
In this way, we can produce more high-quality undead such as death knights.
of course… That is, if you give it time.
Unfortunately, it is already day 4.
The enemy will arrive within a few days.
Nowadays, numbers are more important than quality.
After breathing mana in the tent, he created magic power and raised more low-level undead. In a little while, the 10,000-strong army will be completed.
Except for the time I spent creating undead, I only focused on mana breathing.
There is no need for sentries because there are Death Knights.
I sit cross-legged alone and concentrate again-
“Master! The enemies are coming.”
“Hmm?… .”
Death Knight No. 1 came in and reported.
The enemies have already come looking for us.
I expected them to come straight to the gate, but this was faster than I thought.
What happened?
Swish~
I immediately went outside and checked the situation.
Because it is an open area, you can see it right away.
I think it’s around 4000 to 5000.
Troops wearing unusual angled diamond hats and fluttering pieces of cloth.
It was a Bytron unit, not a Uk tribe.
“Oh my… .”
It seems like the Bytron unit was brought back first, intending to return separately… .
“The rice cake came rolling in on its own.”
I just happened to need an undead wizard.
This is welcome.
They’re coming to the gate.
Looking at them so confidently, it seemed like they didn’t know I had taken over the gate.
It’s a golden opportunity.
Because the Uk people were all warriors, wizard corpses were valuable.
Although he is closer to a shaman than a wizard… .
It’s okay if the power you handle is similar.
Moreover, they are much stronger as supports and can even use spears. At least it’s several times better than the human corpses lying around here.
“What do you want to do?”
“It looks like they are approaching without knowing anything, so wait first. If you get close, they will explode the corpses and then attack all at once.”
“Okay.”
“When I give the signal, each of you will lead 3,000 troops and split into two sides to attack.”
“I will follow your orders.”
“I will follow.”
Death Knights are strong in their own military power, but what is more important is command. Death Knights have the power and intelligence to rule over the undead.
There’s no reason not to use it.
So, I waited.
Until the Bytrons came closer and noticed something wrong with the gate.
“Wait, isn’t there something strange over there?”
“Uks… Is that right?”
“It seems somehow strange… … .”
“Wait!! Isn’t that a skull? It’s undead. The undead are at the gate!!”
Well, by the time I noticed, it was already too late.
Because there are countless corpses beneath the ground they step on. I simply activated the death aura and sent a signal to the magic circle.
ᛋᛁᛍᛅ᛬ፆᚳᚺᚢᚴᛒᛅᛚ.
Corpse explosion.
Pawk!!
Quagwagwagwang!!
“Kwaaaa!!?”
A series of explosions.
Things that were alive just a moment ago are caught up in the explosion and are blown away with their skin torn.
and.
“Kill them all.”
“Please leave it to me.
“I understand.”
The Death Knight led the undead army and advanced on the Bytron tribe.
There is no need to look at the results of the war.
We defeated them in less than half a day.
With the Death Knight, it wasn’t difficult to catch the enemy commander.
and… .
The corpse of an 8-star shaman.
High-quality ingredients have arrived again.
