Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

...

Seeing the death barrier collapse, the Wokou elite waited in the sky for a full ten minutes before carefully landing on the ground to check the situation at the military base.

After confirming that no one at the military base had survived and that the warehouse and key buildings had been either emptied or turned into ruins, they discussed among themselves while flying toward the frontline of the Undead Catastrophe.

A military base pillaged and destroyed, its garrison wiped out—this problem was far greater than the shelling of mansions in wealthy districts or strongholds of great clans and families.

Inside Tokyo City, over a hundred million Undead creatures had already broken into the city.

With the Spectral Dragon Army holding back Wokou elites and the Spectral Dragon King Kulong and the Black Dragon King Dailisi rallying the troops, the Undead Catastrophe momentarily gained the upper hand.

However, in facing the Wokou military and elites, it was only by virtue of the sheer number of the Spectral Dragon Lord Bosses that they temporarily suppressed the opposition. If not for the Replicas' disregard for death, always trading blow for blow, they might not have been able to hold them back.

The only advantage lay in the vast numbers of Undead underground, wreaking havoc in Tokyo City, slaughtering the civilian professionals.

The Undead creatures surged like tidal waves in every direction, drowning any Wokou in their path and turning them into slain spirits, who were then tainted by the Zombie virus. Their tattered corpses were reanimated, joining the ranks of the Undead Catastrophe.

The Undead's ability to snowball made the disaster much more extensive.

The terror of the Undead Catastrophe was vividly demonstrated at this moment, plunging countless Wokou civilians into great fear.

Street after street, neighborhood after neighborhood in Tokyo City was overwhelmed by the Undead, and numerous Wokou succumbed to the Undead's blades.

And a great many high-tier Undead, under the organization of the Blood Race Boss, spread towards the Dog Emperor's Imperial Palace but were blocked several blocks away, unable to advance an inch further.

The Wokou military in Tokyo City, with fifty percent of their forces positioned near the Imperial Palace, strongly withstood the onslaught of the Undead tide, halting the Undead's assault on the palace.

The Army of Spectral Dragons exchanged blows with the Wokou elites in the sky over this area but didn't manage to gain a significant advantage; instead, they subtly faced the threat of being overwhelmed.

Spectral Dragon King Kulong and Black Dragon King Dailisi hovered over the Undead army, constantly commanding the siege and conquest.

In the new stronghold, Zi Liyuan casually summoned Edward.

"Inform your subordinate Blood Race Bosses to lead the Undead army in a full-scale attack and charge the Dog Emperor's Imperial Palace with all your might,"

"As you command, Master!"

At the same time, Zi Liyuan used the contract power in his Spirit to notify Kulong and Dailisi to start a full-on attack on the palace.

The movements of the Undead army, especially those of the high-tier Undead, were immediately noticed by the Wokou Military.

Without any hesitation, the Wokou Military dispatched all of their Fourth Order Peak elites to block the charge of the Spectral Dragon Army.

They also mobilized troops, bringing in forces from nearby areas to establish several defensive lines in the city blocks before the Imperial Palace.

As Undead surged endlessly against the defensive lines on the ground, especially with the appearance of numerous mid-to-high tier Undead, the Wokou's ground defenses were breached one by one.

To counter the Undead Catastrophe, the Wokou high command had to appeal for help from the Yin Yang Holy Palace.

The Yin Yang Holy Palace shared a fate of mutual prosperity and loss with the Wokou nation, and observing the Imperial Palace being besieged by the Undead with a risk of falling, it had no choice but to dispatch its own reserves for support again.

It was indeed the campaign of the Coalition of Nations this time that had drawn away most of the Wokou's high-tier combat strength, particularly from Tokyo City.

Why not, given that Tokyo City is the capital of the Wokou nation and its defenses are naturally strong, who could have imagined that it would become a target, least of all the national capital?

But they encountered Zi Liyuan, the freak who not only obtained a detailed layout of Tokyo City's defenses but also commanded all the Undead creatures within the Necro Realm, no more than a thousand miles from Tokyo City as the crow flies.

The wave of Undead Catastrophe brought by Zi Liyuan steamrolled through territories, broke into Tokyo City, and at a minimum, destroyed four cities with populations over a million and over twenty towns with populations of tens of thousands, not to mention countless villages.

One could say that this wave of Undead Catastrophe has killed at least eight million Wokou so far, and the number is still rapidly increasing.

By the time the team from the Yin-Yang Holy Palace arrived at the front lines and joined the resistance, the Spectral Dragon Legion was inevitably suppressed by the might of the Wokou elites.

The advance of the Undead Army on the ground also began to slow down.

This was due to an Army of Shikigami, consisting of five thousand Fourth Order warriors, which began to engage in battle with the Undead Army.

The middle and high-tier Undead within the Undead Army were basically all tied up by this Army of Shikigami, able to rely only on the lower-tier Undead to continually assault the Wokou Army's defenses.

But aside from their terrifying numbers, the lower-tier Undead did not possess great strength in attack, severely impeded in their progress against the Wokou Military.

Meanwhile, Zi Liyuan, hidden near the Dog Emperor's palace, took in everything on the battlefield and noticed a significant weakening of the palace's defenses.

Opportunity!

The opportunity he had awaited had finally come!

"Edward, you have only one task! Gather all hidden Vampires and Spectres, and prepare to enter the palace at the first opportunity to plunder the spoils!"

"At your command, master!"

Zi Liyuan was particularly serious this time, his words carrying an aura of firmness.

Edward asked nothing, immediately accepted with a grave expression, and proceeded to summon all the Vampires and Spectres lurking within Tokyo City to gather together at the first chance.

"Hu, let's storm the palace!"

Zi Liyuan slammed the magic wand into the ground, and in that moment, countless summoning arrays took shape, engulfing the area within ten miles in a huge fog of death instantaneously.

Ten epic beast Bosses roared furiously as they charged out of the arrays and headed straight toward the Dog Emperor's palace.

The rhythmic pitter-patter of hooves emerged from the summoning arrays in unison.

A Nightmare Knight, leading twenty Dread Knight Kings, charged out of the death fog, and the moment they exited the summoning arrays, the twenty Dread Knight Kings turned into a hundred and forty Dread Knight Kings.

Under the effect of the Replica Skill, a Lord Boss level legion of a hundred Dread Knight Kings was instantly formed and they unleashed their Charge Skill, heading likewise for the Dog Emperor's palace.

And that wasn't all, the Wraith Mage King, this time commanding a team of a thousand Wraith Mages, became ten teams of a hundred Wraith Mages each upon exiting the summoning array and began casting together.

Ten massive arrays of Death Decay spread almost instantly across ten kilometers – the very earth itself took on a hue of desolation, blooming with countless flowers of death.

This wide-area coverage by the Wraith Mage teams was meant to obstruct the intercepting troops.

If you dare to charge through, then prepare to endure the erosion of the Power of Death. The damage was not light, and for the majority of the Wokou Army who were Second Order, charging into the area covered by Death Decay was akin to seeking death!

"Taking drugs to strengthen the Soul Value, summoning so many high-tier Undead at once, I feel a sense of exhaustion."

After taking a deep breath, Zi Liyuan commenced summoning again, but this time it wasn't through the power of the Soul contract, but rather a summoning skill that came with his equipment.

The Demon Spider, an epic Boss, once again appeared before Lord Zi.

"Old magic, it's time for you to be a holy warrior, come, let these little devils see what's called a human body explosion!"

He took out a high-power bomb expertly prepared by the Undead Dwarves from his Spatial Backpack, fixing it under the massive underbelly of the Demon Spider.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered the emotionless giant spider to charge towards the Dog Emperor's palace.

However, the Demon Spider's direction of charge was slightly different from that of the epic beasts and the Dread Knight King Squadron, with a slight deviation.

Because its target for self-destruction was the necropolis, situated right beside the Dog Emperor's palace!
