Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Undead Professionals With Nowhere to Go

With the rise of Zhao Guang, the circumstances around began to change completely.

Within the Chirali Empire, Duke Horace’s recent status has clearly risen significantly.

It’s not about his title, but rather that many people have recently been visiting him. Initially, because Duke Horace gave his daughter to Zhao Guang, there were still many mocking him behind his back.

Later, after receiving numerous benefits, this mockery disappeared, yet some people still did not pay him any respect.

But now, it’s different. A legend explains it all, enough to shut everyone’s mouths.

Not only that, some people have come over to curry favor and draw connections, with many wanting to connect with Zhao Guang through Horace.

Another change is the northern defensive line. Since Zhao Guang has taken over the Great Swamp, it’s uncertain whether the northern line still needs to be maintained. After all, maintaining this line costs a huge price each year.

Not only do they need to invest most of their own territory’s output into the army, but the country also spends a large amount of money each year. But now, this situation has changed.

This year, during discussions, the issue of reducing military expenditure in the north was promptly placed in front of Balola in the Imperial Hall.

Not only inside the Empire but also those northern border lords have had a change in mindset one after another.

They have defended the Empire’s borders for so many years, shouldn’t they enjoy some benefits by now?

Anyway, from now on, Zhao Guang controls the area, and Zhao Guang is a Human, incapable of high-intensity confrontation with them. If they were to fight, they would not be his opponents, so reducing the army is preferable.

Although it hasn’t started yet, it’s only a matter of time.

In many territories, the recruitment of soldiers has now been halted, something unchanged for hundreds of years.

Regarding this change, Balola is not very opposed. The saved military expenditure can be sent south to strengthen the deterrence against the Klein Empire in the south.

Even for the defense against Beastmen and the sea, they can now be strengthened.

As for the north, as long as Zhao Guang is alive, there shouldn’t be too many big problems.

And a Legendary Strongman can live for a very long time. Under normal circumstances, even a Legendary Warrior can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

If not for the Empire’s excessive wars early on, perhaps the earliest legends who built the Empire could still be alive today.

The peripheral changes are not too large, since these need to be made gradually.

But the north is different. The Northern Plague Swamp has now become Zhao Guang’s own territory.

With Zhao Guang’s backing, the army has already moved in. Although the Demon Puppet Army cannot enter on a large scale due to Magic Power network issues, Zhao Guang’s own army can, and Zhao Guang has recruited new soldiers again.

These new recruits are still in training at the rear, but the previous army has already set out.

Whether for merit or revenge, these soldiers are now in high morale.

Even in the air, the Flying Army conducts patrols regularly. In the face of the organized Flying Army, the scattered Undead Mages are no match, forced to hide and flee continuously.

In a previous battle, these Super Professionals were basically wiped out, leaving not many remaining.

These individuals now do not dare to resist, for if they act, they will face endless pursuits by Xi Fei and Sephidya. After several probes, no one dared to attack Zhao Guang’s army.

Only when cornered would the Undead Professionals resist.

As for Zhao Guang’s policy towards these people, it’s to leave no one. These individuals are mostly no good.

Zhao Guang didn’t have the time to filter out the minority that differed, so he simply wiped them all out. As for their Magic data, it would be brought back for Zhao Guang and his Mages to study.

Following the army’s departure, the Mages also set out; their workload is considerable.

Moreover, after the army leaves, these Mages also have to be responsible for their own safety.

If not for the worry that Valudo might still be hiding in this area, Zhao Guang’s advancement speed might have been even faster.

The remaining Advanced Professionals from before are quite numerous, but these people are still no match for Zhao Guang’s army.

After the baptism of battle, Zhao Guang’s Magic Rune Army has now developed a large number of forces into the third Magic Pattern. Once the third Magic Pattern is developed, they themselves become Advanced Professionals.

Especially the Thunder Warriors, when facing Undead Professionals, they’re all-encompassing in their overwhelming power.

Due to their progress, the Undead Mages retreat repeatedly, gradually reaching a dead end.

"What should we do, sir? We have no more places to go. Continuing north, that environment is just too poor."

Yes, not only is the environment poor, but there are no natural barriers either, at least over a vast range. The north is not a desert but a grassland, turning into an icefield in winter, simply uninhabitable for normal people.

In such places, even Undead Mages would find it hard to grow stronger.

Of course, just living is not an issue, as Undead Professionals have strong adaptability.

After a long silence, a voice arose: "Heading north is indeed safest, but continuing growth won’t be easy, that depends on whether Lord Xuanwu will give you the opportunity."

"I plan to take people south to the City of Death, that will be our new territory."

"But recently, the City of Death has also been chaotic."

"It’s okay, although very chaotic, coincidentally it provides us with an opportunity to go there, otherwise, they would be exclusionary. Moreover, maybe we could persuade those strong ones to take action." They know some hidden Legendary Undead Professionals.

"What about the Temple?"

"As long as those individuals intervene, the Temple won’t be too excessive."

The Temple is indeed a powerful organization. Besides Zhao Guang clashing head-on with them recently, no one else has succeeded in such direct confrontations. Their attempts in the past have yielded no success either.

"Alright then, those intending to head south, follow along, others preferring to head north, continue northwards. But don’t go westward, the Elves won’t let you go." The Elves’ attitude towards Undead Professionals is, better kill wrong than let one escape.

A few Great Mages left, or stopped speaking, while others began to discuss.

This concerns their future, so none of them dared to take it lightly. In the end, they realized they were trapped, with only two directions available to leave.
