Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Easier Than Imagined

"Is everyone present?" the Island Master asked. "If not, don’t wait for them. The situation is urgent now."

On the island, the Island Master had gathered the high-ranking officials for a brief speech. A matter of such gravity left no room for long-winded discussions or prolonged disputes.

The enemy was already at their doorstep, and they had to resolve their affairs swiftly.

But suddenly, the Island Master sensed danger and his Fighting Spirit erupted in an instant.

Shadows flickered around him, and he felt an attack coming. It was a step too slow in his reaction, and an arm was severed on the spot—even though he had reached the Golden Peak.

Lifting his head, the Island Master’s face changed as he saw that nearly all his subordinates were dead.

They were almost all dead because a few who had not died had clearly betrayed him.

"Why? Why would you side with the Undead?"

The weaponry in these subordinates’ hands had already been plunged into the bodies of others. The Island Master realized with these sudden changes that the island was beyond salvation. He never expected the enemy to have infiltrated so deeply.

This was no spur-of-the-moment attack; it was well-planned.

"Why, of course, it’s because of this." A noble turned his head, revealing two sharp fangs at the corners of his mouth. He had already transformed into a Vampire and was no longer human.

"Ha ha, haha, so that’s it. For the sake of their own longevity, they fall into corruption. Quite the irony."

Such things were not uncommon, especially in a world where eternal life was achievable.

However, these methods were mostly despicable and harshly condemned. And now his subordinates had turned as well, making it laughable that he hadn’t noticed.

"Island Master, it’s time to bid you farewell. Don’t worry; we will take good care of this island for you."

Despite the Island Master’s desperate resistance, it was futile.

Unseen by him, Ghost Assassins struck from the shadows, killing important figures on the island and even low-ranking commanders within the army. They were not difficult to assassinate.

Even a common silver-level Ghost Assassin could silently dispose of their targets without anyone noticing.

When the news of warfare arrived, the military was immediately thrown into chaos. They found that all who could issue commands were dead. Those few who stepped forward to rally the troops were beheaded in plain sight.

This only added to the chaos, but then some stood forth.

Hoisting flags that promised survival through surrender, they began to organize the panicked individuals.

Oddly, these individuals were untouched, while those attempting to attack them were instead killed by Ghost Assassins from somewhere unknown. The situation turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.

Naval forces were ruthlessly eliminated, and then transport ships came ashore, delivering masses of troops.

Some soldiers within the strongholds instinctively wanted to resist, but they soon realized it was futile.

Even the Undead Army’s bronze-level Combat Power could only be considered cannon fodder. The enemy’s legitimate forces were mostly composed of Legions of silver and gold-level combatants.

Any single Legion had greater strength than the entire island, not to mention they were attacking from multiple sides.

Some people did resist, only to be swiftly annihilated—corpses and all. Many others simply surrendered, daring not to resist upon discovering that the Undead did not kill prisoners.

"What do you think will happen to us? Do you think they’ll turn us into Undead?"

"Don’t talk nonsense. I’ve heard that they have plenty of normal creatures among their ranks." Two green Half-Beasts cowered in a corner. Truthfully, it wasn’t easy to make Half-Beasts shudder in fear like this.

The island was rapidly controlled and just as swiftly conquered. In no time at all, the forces of resistance were cleansed, leaving only prisoners. With only the high ranks and military to be guarded, there was little trouble to worry about.

One by one, the Big Islands were occupied by various means, at an astonishing speed.

In fact, many islands were falling even as they had only just received the news.

"It happened so fast, much easier than I imagined," Fang Jie couldn’t help but express his astonishment.

"It’s because of your thorough preparation beforehand," Qin Lan was speechless. Fang Jie truly understood the art of caution. This wasn’t just prudence, it was an excessive measure.

Who else would prepare so meticulously before an attack? From the start to finish, everything was detailed, with a surplus of manpower covering every corner.

The moment the action started, there was hardly a need for the army to arrive; the insides were already nearly subverted.

If it still wasn’t easy after this, then it was unclear what could be considered easy.

Only places with Legendary Experts had not yet fallen, but the Legendary Experts arranged by Fang Jie were already engaging in battle.

Outnumbering their enemies, if it weren’t for the desire to leave the opponents alive to obtain the Legend Certificates for his subordinates, they would likely have been eliminated by now.

Leaving the encircled alive for the rank and file to kill was something humans or Elves wouldn’t do, but the Undead had no issue with that.

Fang Jie was also very satisfied with not wasting these people’s value.

"We did prepare a bit too many troops, though; it seems they don’t have much to do," Anya also spoke up, looking at Fang Jie with admiration.

Whether it was governing a nation or assaulting an enemy, Fang Jie’s performance was truly formidable.

Such speed, such minimal losses, were exemplary in conquering territories.

The battles were fought with little damage to the original islands, which allowed for swift adaptation and recovery. What was left now were just other matters, a question of time.

Fang Jie enjoyed the little girl’s admiration, and looking at the screens, he could see his army was indeed somewhat idle.

More and more people were surrendering, and the army basically just had to patrol and intimidate a little. Just the sight of the powerful Flying Army in the air was enough to make any military lose the will to resist.

"Report, we have taken over six large islands according to plan, and only four remain for complete occupation."

"Is that so? Then proceed swiftly; this has been too easy. We can’t just let it end like this; we need to up the challenge," Fang Jie stroked his chin, unable to conclude the campaign in such an anticlimactic fashion.
