Why have you co?” At the sentry post, Xi Fei was slightly surprised by Qiao Miya’s sudden visit.
The outpost would be completely built in the next few days, and she would return by then.
It didn’t seem likely for Qiao Miya to co over, especially since there were increasingly more matters to attend to within the territory.
With the onset of spring, the accumulated snow here had gradually begun to lt, heralding the start of a great period of construction and planting.
The preparatory work for the earlier stages was extensive and complex; once Miller returned, the workload would probably not decrease.
Qiao Miya’s expression was grave, “It’s bad news.
I’ve just received a ssage that a large number of Undead are moving south from the North.”
“A large number of Undead?
How is that possible?
How did we not know?” Coscola, who had just co in, was also taken aback.
Although there were more Magic Beasts recently, there were no signs of Undead.
The strength of the Undead was generally weaker than that of the Magic Beasts, but that was only regarding the ordinary Undead.
What was key here was that to the North laid the Plague Swamp; a large number of Undead ant there were Undead Mages behind them, which signified a greater danger.
“We are at the periphery here.
The territories to the East have already suffered attacks from the Undead.
Miller has received the news and is now returning by land; the ice can no longer be traversed.”
The others exchanged glances.
Was the situation really this serious?
The ice had not completely lted but had ford many wet patches.
Originally, they thought the route could be used for another month, but it had beco impassable.
However, it was understandable; continuing to travel on the ice with so many Undead moving south would be tantamount to suicide.
“Since that’s the case, we also need to make preparations.
Break the ice.”
Xi Fei spoke up, knowing that lting the rivers would make it difficult for the Undead to co across.
The river channels spreading through their territory were too extensive, so at the mont, they could only take care of the portion close to them.
“It’s bad news, there are Undead, a large number of Undead moving south.” Suddenly, a ssenger ran towards them, announcing as he approached.
Without further words, everyone walked out.
The group quickly reached the lookout tower and then saw the overwhelming mass of advancing Undead from the North.
So Magic Beasts they encountered on the way offered resistance, but they were swiftly subrged by the white flood.
In a short ti, the bodies of these Magic Beasts were torn open, their skeletons stood up again, and joined the ranks.
“Notify the Lizardn to rapidly shatter the ice,” Xi Fei quickly commanded.
The training they had undergone during this period had also endowed Xi Fei with a certain ability to command; otherwise, she might not have been able to react in ti.
“Let go and fight a bit, we’ll be back before the ice is broken.”
Elena said as she leaped down, leading her team out.
Xi Fei wanted to say sothing, but it was already too late.
Werewolves were, unfortunately, hard to control.
If Zhao Guang were here, he’d definitely have been able to make them obey.
But in Zhao Guang’s absence, these werewolves had beco much too proactive.
“Let them go.
It will also serve as a deterrent to the Undead Mages,” Coscola said.
Xi Fei nodded, then turned to Qiao Miya, “You must imdiately go back and inform the master, urging him to get ready as soon as possible.”
Qiao Miya nodded but nonetheless added, “The master seems to have been busy with sothing these past few days and has not returned.
I will wait for him upon my return.
If orders don’t co in ti, the situation here will still need your command, Lady Xi Fei.”
Although Xi Fei’s status was not as high as theirs, in practice, she had always had more sway in what she said.
Here, everyone knew that Xi Fei was the master’s woman, much closer to him than they were.
Xi Fei nodded, then looked ahead.
After a mont of thought, Xi Fei said, “The Sniper Team is in place, but without orders, they are not to fire at will.
Jeana, you get the support team ready.”
Jeana, standing by her side, waved her magic wand, “Leave it to , you go ahead and set up the totems.”
Recently, Jeana had gathered a group of assistants around her, all rabbitfolk.
Although they were not fit for battle, they could handle nial tasks without issue.
Recently, Jeana had made an early breakthrough to beco a mid-level Totem Priest.
Being only mid-level, she was nonetheless capable of crafting and employing so totems.
These totem sticks greatly amplified the power of Jeana’s spells.
Once dispersed, Jeana could now cast support magic on over a thousand people at once.
Moreover, this form of casting did not exhaust her as much as before.
At the very least, she would not be nearly drained of her magic power after just one cast; it would take at least two casts to reach that state.
“It’s a pity that there is no Resonance Tower built at this outpost, otherwise it would be possible to recover quickly.”
Without the aid of the Resonance Tower’s magic power for casting spells, Jeana could rely on the tower to quickly replenish her own magic power.
Sadly, this was only an outpost, and they had not considered such things from the start.
Underwater, the grey-skinned Lizardn were going all out, shattering large areas of ice.
During this period, the number of Lizardn heading south had been increasing, now surpassing fifteen thousand.
With such a large number of Lizardn congregating here, if it were not for the supply of food from within the territory, these Lizardn would struggle to survive.
Lately, the Lizardn had also developed a certain sense of belonging to Xuanwu Territory.
Thinking of the Undead continuing to ravage their holand, these Lizardn too were unsettled.
The ice surface was quickly shattered, while opposite, a group of Wolf Cavalry charged back and forth, felling nurous Undead.
In the face of such organized groups, ordinary Undead Armies stood no chance.
Not to ntion, the Wolf Cavalry were now fully ard to the teeth, greatly increasing their defensive power.
Even if they rely charged through, they were more than a match for ordinary Undead.
In their wake, the ground was left with white traces, all that remained of the bones.
“I rember, wasn’t this area supposed to be desolate?
How co there’s such a powerful army here?
Could it be that the Beastn have taken over this region?” In the rear, among the shadows, several figures huddled furtively together.
“It shouldn’t be, if the Beastn had taken over here, the Chirali Empire wouldn’t just watch idly.”
“So what do we do now?
We must continue south, or we might as well join them.”
“Keep going.
I don’t believe their defenses here are that strong.
If we sneak through the cracks, we can surely get out of here.”
After discussing, the few controlled their Undead Army to continue southward.
The control Undead Mages had over the Undead was limited, but they could expand this number by using higher-level Undead to control the lower-level ones.
They also had so apprentices who could exert a certain level of control.
