Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

There was no helping it. As bound servants of Lord Zi, they shared the same against-the-odds luck as the Spectral Dragon itself.

Every slash was a critical hit, every blow was fatal.

A normal attack could explode with four times the damage, and skill attacks did the same.

It could be said that the combat power of this group of twenty Dread Knight Kings was even more terrifying than that of the Spectral Dragon!

Indeed, these Dread Knight Kings, merely Lord Bosses, were on par with epic beasts in terms of attack power, only slightly weaker than the golden Behemoth.

Therefore, the barrier of the Dog Emperor\'s palace endured a colossal drain on its energy under the insane charge and hacking of the Dread Knight Squadron.

As for the thousand-strong Wraith Mage team commanded by the Wraith Mage King, they divided into ten squads of a hundred, beginning to cast spells in unison, endlessly hurling various single-target attacks against the protective barrier.

Their ferocious and powerful attacks soon created a large breach at the base of the wall near the ground.

Then, the epic beasts, along with the Dread Knight Legion and the Wraith Mage team, swarmed into the Dog Emperor\'s palace.

However, there were still garrisoned troops defending the place, and the moment they broke in, they faced interception from the Wokou Army.

Compared to the Wokou forces outside, the three thousand Wokou soldiers stationed here were all at least Third Order, with their commanding officers all being Fourth Order fighters.

After the three teams made their way inside, they were met by the Wokou Army and the mutual onslaught began.

Fortunately, these were merely Wokou forces and not a special squad like a team of Mages. Otherwise, this small group of undead would have found it difficult to penetrate the palace and wreak havoc.

With the epic beast as the spearhead, and the Dread Knight King Squadron flanking, the elite Wokou Army stationed in the palace was soon sliced into several pieces.

The epic beasts engaged the Fourth Order Wokou warriors while the Dread Knight Kings began slaughtering the soldiers, and the Wraith Mage teams reformed into two groups of five hundred, adopting offensive and defensive strategies.

Indeed, under the command of the Wraith Mage King, one five-hundred-strong team provided all comrades who had entered the palace with a Bone Shield spell and an individual Dead Spirit Protection Barrier.

The other five-hundred-strong team didn\'t hesitate to combine their spells, first summoning a War Fog skill—Death Cloud.

The cloud of mist, formed by the Power of Death, quickly shrouded the entire battlefield, covering about a third of the palace.

All undead creatures within the Death Cloud received a 10% boost to their attack attributes and a BENEFIT BUFF effect, as well as reduced visibility and detection for any living being other than the undead.

Then they began casting a large-scale spell, starting with the skill Death Decay.

The Death Decay, cast by a collective of five hundred Wraith Mages, was not only immensely damaging but also had a range that reached five hundred meters.

Waves of deathly energy rampaged through the palace. Wherever they passed, life withered away, and all things decayed.

Facing such a potent Death Decay, the Wokou Army was severely crippled.

Those Third Order Wokou soldiers, even using the protection given to them, couldn\'t withstand the damage from the Death Decay for more than ten seconds.

They could not retreat, for if these high-tier undead breached into the inner palace and attacked the upper echelon or the royal family of the Gao Kingdom, they would likely face the military tribunal\'s criticism, and would probably meet their end by committing seppuku.

Therefore, the Wokou soldiers knew they couldn\'t withstand the onslaught yet didn\'t dare to flee.

They were indifferent to their own deaths as long as they could protect their families. If they fled, their families too would face repercussions!

Resolved to fight to the death, the Wokou soldiers ultimately fell, one after another, beneath the swath of large-scale magic from the Wraith Mage teams, their protection exhausted.

As for the Fourth Order Wokou warriors, those engaged by the epic beasts could only endure passively and struggle bitterly.

Those sought out by the Dread Knight Legion faced even greater difficulties.

Attacks from the true form of the Dread Knight King dealt quadruple damage, and once he unleashed a skill, the damage would skyrocket. Without passive life-saving items to trigger, one could easily be sent off by a single skill.

Even ordinary attacks were exceedingly difficult to resist.

As for the Fourth Order Wokou champions confronting the Dread Knight King\'s Replicas, they were simply overwhelmed, four against one, with tactics that traded blow for blow.

They emphasized one point: to fight ruthlessly as if their lives depended on it!

Doesn\'t your Plaster Nation pride itself on the samurai spirit, cherishing the bayonet duel and the warrior way?

Well, I, the great Replicas of the Dread Knight King, will join you in a bayonet duel. It would be best if we both stood still, you hack at me once, and I\'ll hack at you, back and forth.

Whoever can\'t hold on, well, they can be the first to die!

That\'s the warrior spirit for you, right?

Thus, this elite force of the Wokou Army lasted only about twenty minutes before becoming souls under the claws of numerous high-tier undead.

And that wasn\'t even the most thrilling part, because Old Tortoise spat out a vial of greenish concoction directly onto the ground, smashing it.

When the greenish liquid touched the Wokou corpses on the ground, the Wokou soldiers, who had died from the magic invasion, shakily rose again.

With low, guttural roars of "Ugh... Ugh...", these Wokou turned into zombies, joining the ranks of the undead army, slowly following the high-tier undead towards the palace.

Of course, the Wokou soldiers infected and turned into zombies were all those of the Third Order dead; the bodies of Fourth Order champions were transported away by Edward and his vampires and spectres following behind.

Meanwhile, any resources that appeared on the ground were also meticulously cleaned up by these vampires and spectres, ensuring not a single shred of residue was left to be an eyesore.

Edward had been tasked by his master with the important duties of collecting corpses and scavenging war spoils, so no piece of resource could be overlooked!

At this moment, within the Dog Emperor\'s palace, wails and howls abounded. The Dog Emperor had retreated with his senior officials to a shelter beneath the palace.

At the same time, the last of the security teams were gathered and stationed inside the palaces above the shelter.

They even activated the Shikigami that had long been sealed within the palace, turning the originally glorious palace into a gusty, ghostly den.

As the high-tier undead broke through the blockade of three thousand elite Wokou troops, they faced the ghostly palace.

Strong vengeful spirits surged towards the epic beasts.

Each of the Shikigami bred and sealed within the palace was at the Fourth Order Peak.

So, when hundreds of them appeared, they effectively barred the path for the epic beasts and the Dread Knight King Squadron.

As for the Undead Sorceress Squadron, their advance was very slow due to the need for coordinated casting.

However, the first to complete their attack was the magic assault of the Wraith Mage Squadron.

When dealing with such dead spirits as ghostly apparitions, the Wraith Mage Squadron naturally used soul-shattering magic like the Soul Screech to attack.

It must be said, undead versus undead was truly a match of expertise.

The joint spellcasting of the five hundred Wraith Mage Squadron unleashed Soul Screech across the battlefield, causing immense damage to the rushing Shikigami and inflicting various negative effects, such as dizziness and confusion.

Of course, the same soul-shaking impact also hit the epic beasts and the Dread Knight King Squadron.

Because the spell released by the Wraith Mage Squadron was an indiscriminate area-of-effect skill that did not distinguish friend from foe!

Except for the Wraith Mage Squadron that had constructed soul protective shields in advance, all beings on the field felt a wave of dizziness and nausea.
