Chapter 1035: Chapter 644, Attacking Dusty Valley (Seeking Votes, Seeking Subscriptions)
Undead faction.
A beam of light enveloped the entire city.
[Transformation complete!]
[Countdown to next transformation 29 days 59 hours…]
Within a month, this city is not allowed to transform again.
As the light faded, the transformation was completed.
Fang Hao came to the open ground and constructed buildings such as the Skeleton Transformation Field and Burial Grounds, the Archery Range, the Undead Mage Tower, and the Bound Spirit Tower, as well as various other military buildings.
The entire city was once again bathed in rays of light.
The buildings took shape amid the glow.
Ma Tianyi stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide as he gazed up at the emerging structures.
Each faction’s architectural style was quite distinctive.
At first glance, it was clear that these were buildings of the undead style.
Indeed, the rumors in the channel were not all nonsense; Fang Hao was not just in contact with the undead.
This was outright the undead faction’s doing.
A human, actually joining the undead faction.
“Construction is completed, but it will still take some time. Ma Tianyi, share with us all the intelligence you know,” Fang Hao said.
A wooden table was brought into the midst of the group.
Ma Tianyi unfolded his map, pointed to the northeast corner, and said, “This is the region of the stone gates, where demons continuously emerge. At present, they have spread in this area, and their numbers are vast…”
Beyond the described range of the spread, which was broader than the intelligence Little You had brought back, the location of the stone gate was the same.
The intelligence from Little You was more detailed.
The demons had already established a base within.
City walls and buildings were also under construction on a large scale.
In the history of this continent, the reason why demons were so detested was because there had been wars where demons had seduced kings and swept across the land.
The large-scale emergence of demons this time also showed this tendency.
After Ma Tianyi finished speaking,
Fang Hao looked at the three heroes beside him and asked, “Any plans?”
Anjia was fiddling with her fingers on the side, while Beiyehu also appeared distracted.
Only after a moment of silence, Demitrija said, “My lord, according to City Lord Ma Tianyi, the demons outside are collecting corpses.”
Ma Tianyi nodded, “Yes, every day a large number of corpses are brought to this valley.”
“I believe, rather than dispersing our forces to clear the scattered demons, which is also a waste of time, we just need to take down this valley. The remaining demons can be cleared out more easily later,” Demitrija explained her plan.
Fang Hao also understood.
The idea was not to deal with the spread outside but to clear the valley and close the stone gates.
The remaining demons outside can be slowly cleaned up afterward.
The main thing was to block the source.
“Beiyehu, what do you think of this plan?” Fang Hao asked.
The Snake Woman, whose mind was wandering, shuddered.
With somewhat evasive eyes, she said, “Um, it makes sense, I agree.”
“The battle is about to begin, everybody get serious.”
“Oh, right.”
Soon, the buildings were completed in a burst of light.
Fang Hao approached the buildings to start recruiting.
[One hundredfold amplification triggered, recruiting 1010 Bound Spirit Guardians.]
A vast number of Bound Spirit Guardians, their eye sockets flickering with Soul Fire, appeared and spread out across the nearby open space.
Demitrija took these troops aside and explained the next steps.
Fang Hao continued to the barracks and the Skeleton Transformation Field to recruit more troops.
[One hundredfold amplification triggered, recruiting 20200 Skeleton Warriors.]
[One hundredfold amplification triggered, recruiting 5050 Undead Mages.]
[One hundredfold amplification triggered, recruiting 5050 Skeleton Archers.]
[One hundredfold amplification triggered, recruiting 202 Soul Coffins.]
[One hundredfold amplification triggered, recruiting 101 Bone Giants.]
In an instant, a vast horde of the undead appeared in the light, filling the entire city.
In addition to the forces already amounting to over ten thousand, there were also the immense Bone Giants, their presence imposing a suffocating pressure.
One of the materials for Bone Giants was ‘Giant Essence,’ of which Fang Hao only had two.
He had traded for them on the world channel.
He used one here and decided to keep the other in case it was needed later.
Looking at the somewhat pale-faced Ma Tianyi, Fang Hao said, “Don’t just stand there watching, lead the different kind out to form ranks by category. We’ll make equipment for them later.”
“Oh, okay.” Ma Tianyi attempted a call, and the skeletons really did obey, trailing him toward the city outskirts.
As the soldiers left.
Fang Hao went back to the Skeleton Transformation Field and recruited a large number of Skeleton Giant Bats and Skeleton Vultures.
These were to counter the enemy’s Flying Demons.
As for the Bone Dragon… Fang Hao currently thought there was no need to recruit it.
The strength of his troops already felt sufficient to take down the demons.
The role of the Bone Dragon would be reserved to guard the main city.
After recruiting the troops, Fang Hao began making equipment and machineries.
Large numbers of shields, cannons, blasting tubes were rapidly produced.
Making the final preparations.
He was busy until three in the afternoon.
Only then was this undead army finally ready.
Endless swarms of undead stretched as far as the eye could see, covering all visible ground.
“Demitrija, you will lead the infantry; Beiyehu, lead the mages; Anjia, take charge of the archers and Soul Coffins,” Fang Hao commanded loudly.
“Yes, my lord,” the three heroes responded, bowing.
“All right, let’s move out!” Fang Hao climbed onto a chariot, while Ma Tianyi also mounted a skeletal horse in the rear.
Then, thump, thump, thump!!
The sound of drums started, accompanied by the clattering of bones and armor, as the army began to advance.
…
On horseback.
Ma Tianyi followed the large troop as it advanced.
He now understood why Fang Hao was so confident in dealing with demons.
With so many troops, including high-level special species.
Even the demons couldn’t withstand the march of this massive undead army!
It turned out that it wasn’t that Fang Hao was arrogant, but that they had underestimated the strength of the top force in this world.
His curiosity grew even stronger.
What kind of recruitment system did the undead have, and how could they recruit so many forces?
Were the recruitment materials that easy to obtain?
Ding!!
His thoughts were all over the place.
The Book of City Lord sent a prompt.
Ma Tianyi casually opened it; it was the Alliance channel, and someone had mentioned him at this time.
“@Ma Tianyi, how’s it going, Big Ma? Can we rely on that guy? It’s getting dark, should we continue camping or move?”
“Yeah, where’s the Alliance Hierarch? Hasn’t been kidnapped, has he?”
“I think it’s unlikely. Maybe the Alliance Hierarch and Fang Hao have already started arguing.”
“Should we go back and help out, at least snatch back the Alliance Hierarch’s Book of Lords?”
“We still haven’t got a reply by now, probably kidnapped, let’s go back and rescue…”
The caravan of the Shanhai Alliance stretched out for a great distance.
Therefore, not all of them were gathered together.
The messages were passed among each other through the Alliance channel.
Ma Tianyi hadn’t sent any messages back all day, and everyone was getting anxious.
At this moment, Ma Tianyi’s reply finally came back.
He said, “I’m not dead! Fang Hao does have the strength to fight demons, and is currently leading troops to ‘Dusty Mud Valley’. He plans to attack the valley directly and clean up the rest gradually.”
As soon as this statement came out, the channel immediately buzzed with reactions.
“How is it possible to attack ‘Dusty Mud Valley’ directly? Are there so many troops?”
“Is that for real? Boss, have you been brainwashed?”
“Any pictures? Let’s see what kind of forces he has to be so bold.”
Ma Tianyi was just about to take a picture of the surroundings when he immediately remembered Fang Hao’s instructions.
So he directly said, “The situation is a bit special, I will explain when I get back. Everyone continue to camp for today, the deputy Alliance Hierarch will arrange everything. Be careful of orc raids.”
“Alright, stay safe.”
…
Night fell.
The undead army, like a ghostly force, also had no illumination and marched through the darkness toward their destination.
After sweeping away the demons along the way, they finally arrived at ‘Dusty Mud Valley’.
Just like its name.
The entire valley was filled with thick dust.
With the help of the hazy moonlight, one could still see the walls that had been built and the demon soldiers standing on top of them.
Unlike Little You’s description, the walls were no longer made of logs.
Rather, they were covered with a layer of mud and stone, making them taller and more solid.
Meanwhile, the vibrations caused by the approaching skeleton army attracted the attention of the demons in the valley.
The sound of horns echoed inside the valley, followed by the demons’ gibberish shouts.
The demons inside the valley began to boil with activity.
The next second, a massive number of demons, like a flood released from its gates, flew out from the sky and the ground, swarming towards the approaching undead troops.
Fang Hao was in the central position of the army.
But he had cast the ‘God’s Presence’ skill and controlled the heavily armored ‘Warrior Demon Dolls’ that followed behind the front line of the army.
As the demons drew near, he could finally see the demons up close.
[Buzzing Demon (Tier 6)]
[Giant Claw Demon (Tier 7)]
[Crazy War Demon (Tier 8)]
[Giant Demon Bull (Tier 9)]
Odd-shaped demons emerged from the mist and came into view.
The Buzzing Demon, resembling a giant bee, had transparent wings and a mouthpiece sharp like a sword.
The Giant Claw Demon, with a beast head and a human body, had giant pincers for hands and two short arms under its ribs.
The Crazy War Demon was covered with scales, resembling a gargantuan toad.
The Giant Demon Bull, closer in shape to a Tauren, was covered with thick fur, had a larger build, and its appearance was extremely fierce and terrifying.
All the demons felt like an assembly of various creatures.
Bizarre and fierce.
Seeing the demons charging like mad, Fang Hao commanded in a cold voice, “Cannons, fire!”
Swoosh!
The front line of infantry opened up to the left and right.
One after another, the cannons began to adjust the elevation of their barrels.
“Fire!”
After the order.
Boom, boom, boom!
The roaring sound echoed throughout the whole valley.
Bang, bang, bang….!
The next second, the cannonballs covered the valley ahead, and hordes of demons were blasted into the air, their blood and limbs raining down from the sky.
Watching the scene ahead, Ma Tianyi’s heart pounded violently with each roar of the cannons.
What’s going on?
How did this turn into modern warfare?
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of cannons continued, with the valley’s fixed terrain restricting the demons’ spread.
The cannonballs could easily cover the entire area of the battlefield.
At this moment, the ‘Buzzing Demons’ entered the firing range.
“Archers, attack!”
