Capítulo 1177: Chapter 1177: Proactive Assault Sweeping Across All Directions
“The Pope has issued an order for us to attack with all our strength and take over the opposing territory as soon as possible. Also, here’s the missionary guidelines and stabilization policy for the coming period. Everyone should take a look.”
Everyone hurriedly grabbed the items. If it were in the past, they couldn’t have understood this stuff.
But after this period of continuous debate and brainstorming, their abilities have significantly improved.
Though it seed a bit complicated, everyone still found it easy to comprehend.
“Understood. Well, after today’s debate, let’s take action.” Everyone nodded. It’s important to know that while they’ve been debating here, it isn’t their only task.
In fact, everyone took turns collecting corpse bones in secret and even personally creating the undead.
In this month’s ti, the territory indeed beca more stable, but their undead army had grown to a terrifying level. At least, compared to the surrounding territories, there was no comparison.
A few days ago, their first debate victory made the other side’s expressions unpleasant.
In the following days, their debate victories beca more frequent, and the opposing side couldn’t find a way to parry.
Because the theories they learned couldn’t refute their argunts. On this day, after another debate victory, those nobles returned with gloomy faces to research and discuss, as it’s been over the past few days.
But suddenly, they heard the soldiers’ shouts, and turning around in annoyance, their faces turned pale.
“Damn it, they’re attacking on their own. How dare they? Don’t they know we’re the stronger side now, that we’re the attackers?” The nobles began to lose coherence.
When it cos to verbal duels, they’re experts, but war isn’t sothing everyone excels at.
Moreover, even for those who have studied it, facing a battle of this scale for the first ti can make their minds go blank, forgetting all they’ve learned.
The result was that the nobles began to issue orders, but they were all different.
So demanded an attack, others insisted on holding the line, while so were shouting for a retreat.
Chaos ensued, and what was once an organized formation quickly fell apart. By the ti those idle heroes noticed, it was too late to reorganize.
As a result, they were engulfed by the army, and soon found themselves surrounded by the undead.
The undead surrounded them from the flanks and herded them from the rear. In their escape, the soldiers even fought among themselves.
Along the way, they left behind nurous corpses and even more prisoners. As long as the soldiers could surrender, they were future manpower. Jera doesn’t want to annihilate them all, or what would be left to expand the divine sect?
So, even if they had to lose more undead, they aid to capture the enemy’s army alive whenever possible.
Of course, so couldn’t be captured, especially those who reached hero levels of strength.
Most of these were cultivated by the so-called Dark God, and due to their faith and control, they couldn’t join. Even if surrounded, they would fight to the death.
These hero units caused significant losses for them.
Among their forces, there weren’t many hero units, so no one dared to act recklessly on the battlefield.
Against these strong enemies, their usual tactic was to let their undead minions handle them. After all, their minions were just undead, so losing a few wasn’t a big deal.
“Quick, take the corpse back and present it to the Pope.”
After slaying another hero unit, the missionary in front was ecstatic. Transforming a hero unit into an undead while retaining its combat power was a miracle only the Pope could achieve.
Others who could create undead were limited to producing ones at ordinary human levels.
That’s essentially up to the gold level, but in their eyes, the difference between gold level and ordinary humans wasn’t significant—just slightly stronger. The suppression in this world for internal personnel was too severe.
Once the border was completely breached, the undead army poured in furiously.
The lords and nobles at the rear never expected this to happen, still reveling in a life of opulence.
This undead advance wasn’t like before. Now they had a template, sufficient manpower, and an ample undead army, making this expansion incredibly swift.
In no ti, while the lords were still unresponsive, the undead army had already advanced.
Those cities that couldn’t set up defenses quickly were easily breached, hardly serving any defensive purpose.
In one of the most absurd territories, the ssenger had just entered the Lord Mansion to deliver the news. The next mont, the mansion’s gate was smashed, and the undead army stord in, leaving the banquet scene in disarray.
They couldn’t fathom why things escalated so quickly, as if in a dream.
In just a few days, surrounding territories were breached, and one important location after another was captured.
Even the outer fortresses were taken over by the undead army, drastically enhancing their defenses, leaving no worry of surrounding territories taking the opportunity to attack.
One might say, by the ti distant territories realized what had happened, the defenses here were already completely solidified.
“What’s going on? How did things change so quickly?”
From within a dark underground hall ca an angry roar.
“Your Eminence, according to our original intelligence, everything was normal. We’re investigating.”
“Investigate? What’s there to investigate? Are you going to wait until they’re at our doorstep?” As a God, having one’s domain weakened, their strength was significantly diminished.
Though these territories were rely supportive of their strength, a reduction is still a reduction.
While these territories had been sold off, the ones sold were those surrounding territories not belonging to them. A massive domain could easily garner the attention and caution of other Gods.
They needed to accumulate strength to further advance, but they didn’t anticipate such a change.
Those damned undead not only took over a massive stretch of surrounding territory but even invaded their own domain. While those Lords appeared unaligned, they were secretly subordinates and believers.
These territories were genuinely theirs, and now they were all gone.
