Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Instantly Intensified

Zhao Guang never expected that while he was gathering intelligence on the other side, those undead mages didn’t need any reconnaissance at all. They started attacking immediately after moving south.

Bridges were erected over the river, made not of earth and stone but of white bones.

It was clear this was the handiwork of the undead mages. A large number of undead creatures were heading toward their territory, and the gray-skinned lizardmen in the water could only take the opportunity to eliminate some undead.

There were too many, and they didn’t dare confront them head-on, especially since their magic warriors were still few in number.

Besides, the undead mages were currently in a strong position, and facing them directly might lead to devastating consequences even if they didn’t face extermination.

Given Zhao Guang hadn’t ordered a direct confrontation, the gray-skinned lizardmen weren’t fools.

Reading the battlefield reports, Zhao Guang was left speechless. "Have these undead mages gone mad? Going all-in from the start as if they won’t rest until we’re wiped out."

"Perhaps they feel emboldened by having a legendary mage backing them up."

Xi Fei also found the report exasperating, but without a legendary strongman on their side, she might have thought victory was assured in such a situation. Still, the undead mages’ actions were overly aggressive.

Even with a legendary mage in the background, it was up to them to take the initiative at the start of the battle. fre(e)webnove.l.c.om

One mistake, and they could perish on the battlefield, as the enemy was indeed not simple.

Zhao Guang thought for a moment and then spoke, "Deploy all our forces; at the forefront, use the magic dolls. Our magic puppet factory is running at full capacity; use all available materials."

"By the way, do we have sufficient stockpile of materials?"

"We’ve been stocking for a while. Although the quantity hasn’t met our targets, producing tens or hundreds of thousands of ordinary magic dolls is feasible," Sephidya responded promptly.

The magic puppet factory was converted from the Mage Tower, and the Mage Tower was under Sephidya’s management.

"Alright, let’s go with that for now. I’ll handle the material issues."

Ordinary materials weren’t problematic for Zhao Guang, as they were just basic steel. They could even be purchased en masse from Earth at a higher quality.

Of course, his own territory was also smelting steel, although not yet at scale, which was slightly lacking.

The real trouble lay in some special materials, which were scarce even in his territory’s reserves.

These were materials only mages could use, and typically difficult to buy in large quantities.

With Zhao Guang’s orders, what started as a standoff in the North turned into mutual assault. Indeed, both sides engaged in a full-scale war, with hostilities reaching a fever pitch.

Perhaps because the undead mages weren’t afraid of casualties, their combat tactics were always like this.

Similarly, Zhao Guang’s large-scale magic dolls weren’t afraid of dying either.

The biggest threat the undead posed to living beings had no effect on the magic dolls. Undead were hard to kill, but were magic dolls any easier? Their vital points were hard to target, and they were sturdier.

As for death power and plague targeting biological beings, they had no effect on the magic dolls.

Thus, two fearless armies began a mad slaughter here. \n(o)v.e\l.com

If not for the charging issues preventing the dolls from leaving the magic network’s range, they might have swept through the battlefield. Reinforcements continuously arrived, escalating the chaos.

Issuing the material collection orders, Zhao Guang temporarily set aside his research and came to observe the frontlines.

Of course, he didn’t make his presence known but aimed to locate the enemy’s position.

Yet, he couldn’t find traces of Deli, either due to not being there or hiding too well. Zhao Guang assumed Deli was still heavily engaged elsewhere with Valudo.

Attacking on both fronts under such circumstances regarded him with little respect.

Indeed, to those who hadn’t reached legendary status, he was just a small fry, which made sense.

As the magic dolls clashed with undead beings, other soldiers from the territory also gradually gathered here. Upon seeing the brutal scene, numerous soldiers showed various expressions.

"Indeed, training is needed," Coscola remarked, shaking his head.

Due to issues in the territory, they had returned early from the Empire’s southern regions.

This was also because wars in the Empire’s southern parts had gradually calmed, so many returned. Shortly after their return, Zhao Guang increased Coscola’s assignment and brought him to the northern battlefield.

Even with some training, the soldiers’ spirits wavered amidst such warfare, and those inexperienced with battle were even more terrified.

Although they could fly, avoiding most attacks, their hearts still trembled with fear.

Training was necessary; these people all needed it. Thus, using the magic dolls’ protection, they began serious training.

One unit after another entered the battlefield, taking turns fighting in different locations. On the opposite side, the undead also had diverse units, with some undead armies possessing combat power far surpassing ordinary undead.

"Master, look, it’s a mage army over there."

Zhao Guang looked in surprise. "It’s really a mage army; the influence of a legendary mage is indeed extraordinary." From afar, the magic fluctuations were unmistakably clear to Zhao Guang.

It’s well known that mages gathered into an army have far greater combat power than when scattered.

However, due to mistrust, undead mages rarely revealed themselves to even form an army.

In previous confrontations with undead mages, they were dispersed, often hiding their true forms. This undead mage-formed army was a first for Zhao Guang as well.

Because of their presence, Zhao Guang observed undead being processed layer by layer into special forms.

These new undead had combat capabilities far exceeding ordinary ones, and the opposing side had already amassed some.

If not dealt with promptly, once they hit the battlefield, their side’s losses would be significant. Most of these undead possessed intermediate-level combat power, matching his ordinary magic dolls.
