Chapter 970: Chapter 604, Discussing the Senate
A line of funeral priests stood at the back, holding viscera jars.
Fang Hao then began with the existing viscera jars.
In addition to the recently placed “Death Nourishment” and “Soul Drinker”,
the main city already possessed five viscera jars.
Among them, “Power of Thunder” was dark gold, “Magic Empowerment” and “Killing Proficiency” were orange,
“Lightning Speed” was purple, and the very first stored “Revival” was slightly lower in quality, blue.
...
He compared the qualities and the attributes they conferred.
It seemed that they were all more suitable for the characteristics of the territory’s military units than the ones behind him.
There was no need to swap them out.
Only, the position for the viscera jar in the undead cavalry building “Corridor of the Dead” was empty.
The undead cavalry was not very useful in Fang Hao’s hands.
In the initial stages of development, the cavalry were responsible for exploration and patrolling tasks.
But later on, ordinary undead took over patrolling duties, leaving the undead cavalry utterly unused.
During legion battles, they usually recruited around ten thousand.
Their main role was to escort and expedite travel; they were seldom used on the main battlefield.
After selecting from the returned viscera jars,
he first tested the purple “Wild Run” viscera jar’s effect.
It indeed increased movement speed but changed the mode of attack from the cavalry’s slashing to trampling by the skeleton horses.
If they reached their target and the horse’s hooves could trample them to death, good; if not, the charge was in vain.
Fang Hao then removed the “Wild Run” from the cavalry building.
In the end, he chose the “Stone Form (blue)” viscera jar.
Viscera Jar
Category: Magic Container
Ability: Petrification
Petrification: Skeletal petrification, physical damage received -10%.
(Description: A natural stone armor.)
After the effect of the viscera jar took hold, both the skeleton horses and the cavalry sitting on them,
had a layer of stony plaques form on the surface of their bones.
It didn’t look particularly appealing, but the effect was quite good.
After confirming the viscera jar, the remaining jars, including the purple “Wild Run,” were all exchanged directly via the channel to Dong Jiayue, who stayed in Golden City.
She was to hand these jars to Amanda.
After all, Golden City also had undead units that needed the enhancement of viscera jars.
After stepping out of the Viscera Museum, Fang Hao once again headed to the city outskirts to discuss the nearby patrol arrangements.
…
Hundred Cities Federation.
Fort Santa.
Inside a temporary meeting room,
the management of the Federation Army sat silently at one end.
On the opposite side were several skeletons.
The leader was someone the members of the Federation recognized.
The Corpse Witch of Black Horn City, ‘Arlene.’
Behind Arlene were several other undead.
One of the undead had a peculiar appearance; a skeleton-like visage but with a pair of huge fleshy wings.
Resembling a vampiric undead.
“What brings you all here?” Nidam, the commander of the Hall of Justice, asked.
Only yesterday, Fort Santa received news of Black Horn City being conquered by the Blood Clan; today, Arlene came with her entourage.
This made them uncertain whether the news Silver Wing City received was accurate.
Arlene pulled a document from her bosom,
pushed it towards Nidam, and said, “Black Horn City has been renamed ‘Supreme Saint Golden City.’ According to the agreement, there will be peace at the borders.”
The document was an alliance treaty signed between the Blood Clan and the Federation.
It included the agreed-upon contents, including the right to deal with the Great Cemetery, peace at the borders, and the Federation’s aid to the Blood Clan.
Seeing the contents of the document,
Both Nidam and others who craned their necks to see the content,
revealed an expression of disbelief.
The Blood Clan had really conquered Black Horn City so fast? This speed was inconceivable.
“The Blood Clan has won?” Nidam still couldn’t believe it.
Arlene nodded, “Odys’s soul has been extinguished; this land will be managed by a new ruler.”
Odys is dead…
This news was just as explosive.
The undead, as the enemy of all living creatures, positioned Odys as the major nemesis of all living forces.
His influence was comparable to that of the leader of the Hall of Justice, Archbishop Milton.
But now, he had died so effortlessly.
It was surprising and, at the same time, it instilled an even greater wariness of the Blood Clan’s power.
“Fine, humanity also desires peace; we will honor this treaty,” Nidam responded.
Arlene nodded without further comment,
She picked up her copy of the treaty and left with her undead entourage.
Soon, in the temporary meeting room,
Only the people of the Federation remained,
After a brief silence, Nidam turned his gaze to Li Rong at the back row, “Mage Li Rong, just how large is the military force that the Blood Clan now possesses?”
Since Xu Haide’s incident,
The Federation’s means of obtaining news about the undead had been completely severed.
After nearly half a month of bewilderment, the connection was suddenly reestablished by Li Rong.
Moreover, it was possible to get news about the Blood Clan.
Initially, the majority did not trust the authenticity of Li Rong’s intelligence.
But now, the credibility of her astonishing and precise information was apparent.
Li Rong spoke gravely, “The Blood Clan’s military power is terrifying. The exact numbers are unclear but the intelligence I obtained suggests that the Blood Clan needed only one night to breach Black Horn City, exterminating Odys and his followers’ souls.”
This…
The room instantly erupted into commotion.
One night to breach a power’s main city.
