Chapter 353: Chapter 353: The Baffled Blue Sand Kingdom

Fang Jie shook his head in pity, although these Ghost Mages possessed spatial talent, they simply couldn’t learn magic of the spatial attribute unless they became a Hero Unit.

After all, they belonged to a troop type and were subject to too many limitations.

The first two skills, Dark Control and Soul Control, had transformed into Dark Mastery and Soul Mastery, significantly enhancing the Ghost Mages’ learning and research in these two attributes, but ultimately, they did not possess an ability like Space Mastery.

This was a common problem among all troop types; their own talents were too restrictive.

Why were troop types good at combat yet seldom the match for native living beings of the same level? It was because of the variety of measures they could employ.

Their methods were too few, and despite being concise and powerful, their Combat Power was set in stone from the moment they were created. Unless they could break through to the Hero level, any breakthrough was impossible.

Of course, if their birth level was insufficient due to insufficient building levels, they could improve their level through combat. Before they reached the level cap, they could still enhance their abilities.

In a previous battle, Fang Jie had deployed many Ghost Mages on the battlefield, and now not a single one had reached the Hero Unit level.

There wasn’t even one that could reach the Elite Units level; such was the limitation of Mages. Mage units were more powerful, but breaking through their own limits was more difficult than for average troop types.

While Fang Jie was researching here, things had started to take a Mysterious turn in the Blue Sand Kingdom.

The soldiers that had been stationed at the border were now feeling baffled.

Supplies that were supposed to be sent to the front lines daily had suddenly been cut off. Then they discovered that those who used to return to this place to report each day had also gone missing.

If they were victorious, it was impossible that they wouldn’t send anyone back.

If they had been defeated, there should be deserters returning, unless the entire army had been annihilated and no one had escaped -- but that was unlikely, and there was no sign of the Undead pursuing them.

"Is there still no news?" the King of the Blue Sand Kingdom asked, his face showing exhaustion.

Since the day before, the team that had entered the desert had completely lost contact. Although the desert was challenging, the people he had sent were by no means ordinary. What exactly was happening now was unclear.

"There is still no news. We have already sent people to investigate."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we had a Legendary Expert take action with us this time. Even if we encounter a more powerful entity, we should be able to return if we can’t defeat it." The person speaking dared not use the word "flee."

If someone heard and took offense, they would be in trouble. But his meaning was clear to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone’s mood relaxed a bit.

The King continued, "Then continue the investigation, increase the manpower by threefold, fivefold —just send ten times the usual number of people over."

The King was worried that the Undead had intercepted these people, so he directly sent ten times as many. With so many, it was practically a small army. This was not an exploratory mission; this was preparation for war.

Yet no one dared say anything now, given the strange situation they found themselves in.

At the border, another group entered, but this time, there were many people. As the Undead did not actively pursue them or massively obstruct them, some individuals finally managed to enter the battlefield.

After investigating, everyone was shocked; their expertise left no doubt about what had happened here.

"How is this possible, how can this be, I must be mistaken."

A Scout said in near collapse, unwilling to believe that the Kingdom’s strongest force could have broken down in this desert. And if their leading Legendary Expert hadn’t returned, what did that indicate?

"We need to go back. Trust our professional knowledge —it’s impossible, but our knowledge tells us that this is the result. We must report back as quickly as possible; we can’t wait any longer."

Even though that person still couldn’t believe it, in the end, he had no choice but to leave with the others.

They couldn’t stay here too long; otherwise, if the Undead Creatures came after them, it wouldn’t be so easy to escape.

Everyone fled headlong out of the area and soon faced the Undead’s encirclement and interception.

But they were professionals. Of those who entered, 80% were lost, but ultimately some people managed to escape the desert. And not just a few, but a significant number made it out in one piece.

It didn’t take long for the higher-ups in the Kingdom to know what had happened here.

Now, everyone was thrown into a panic. They all wanted to know how things could have gotten to this point. The Kingdom was left with only so much Combat Power, and now, a great part of it had been sent in.

The remaining forces would have trouble even mounting a defense.

The most critical issue was that they had offended a powerful force — this force had managed to annihilate the army they had sent out. Given time, who knew how powerful it could grow?

If it had been before, they could have just used diplomatic means to apologize and compensate, eventually scapegoating a few individuals. But not this time — this was a national action, and the plan had been proposed by the ancestors.

They surely couldn’t sacrifice their forebears, nor could they apologize proactively.

If they apologized, it would make the ancestors lose face. Such matters could only be initiated by the ancestors themselves. But given his character, he didn’t seem like someone who could do that.

Moreover, as a Kingdom, they couldn’t start wagging their tails before a mercenary organization.

This organization was comprised of Undead Creatures; that made it even more impossible. As the living, if they sided with the Undead, they would be despised by everyone and even potentially attacked and treated as hostile.

With the Undead, cooperation could be explained, but submission was a completely different matter.

"There’s still no word from Lord Geghis. I believe he won’t die so easily; perhaps he’s hiding somewhere, healing, or he has been delayed by some matter."

"Yes, that must be it. Once Lord Geghis returns, we will know exactly what happened."

This situation was beyond their capacity to bear. They had to find someone higher up.

So Geghis, whose fate was unknown, was the best choice. After all, he had been the leader of this campaign. Although he wasn’t the Commander, his word was certainly the most influential.

The King nodded in agreement, "Right, we just have to wait. However, we must also inform our ancestors about this."
