Chapter 2408: Chapter 1069: A Cornered Dog Will Leap Over the Wall
Boom!
A terrifying roar emerged from the Lich Tower.
A large number of skeleton fragments were ejected from the top of the tower, both in quantity and coverage area, leaving an ordinary Skeleton Cannon far behind.
The Ghoul King’s demonic incarnation, which had tried to sneak up on the Lich Tower, was forcibly repelled.
The Jackalwere King’s demonic incarnation had already verified the devastating power of this new weapon with his own experience.
Once hit by it, it is very likely to cause rigidity.
Especially this Skeleton Cannon standing atop the Lich Tower is incredibly terrifying; its muzzle is large enough to fit a Giant inside.
The power of such a weapon is proportional to its size, an irrefutable truth.
A medium-sized one can never match an oversized one in power.
And how could an oversized one compare to a super giant one?
The strength contained within varies greatly.
The Lich Tower is Gaven’s core stronghold; how could he possibly lack defenses here?
This Undead Slaughter Cannon, created by Gaven, is forged from the finest skeletons in the entire Undead Slaughter Territory, with Undead Slaughter Divine Power as its foundation and structure.
It is currently still a semi-finished product.
According to Gaven’s vision, even the super giant cannon atop the tower is nothing but a muzzle.
The entire Lich Tower is the real charging conduit, while the vast Undead Slaughter Territory is the base of the cannon.
At such a degree, this terrifying cannon would not just be a defensive weapon.
It could even carry out long-range attacks, crossing distances and even space.
After forcing back the Ghoul King’s demonic incarnation, Gaven began a new round of strategic discourse: "Lord Doreisan, is that berserk beast really worth fighting for?"
A thousand years of slavery! A thousand years of exploitation!
Haven’t you had enough?
That beast’s demonic incarnations have been reduced to one-third.
One is imprisoned by me in the Material Plane, another has already become prey for the Father of Combat, and the last is destined to be the stepping stone on which the Flame of Revenge will burn brightly!
How many enemies are there in Yenogu’s Bottomless Abyss? You know better than I do.
Do you think they would let go of such an excellent chance for retaliation?
If you remain obstinate, you risk becoming a sacrifice alongside him.
Even if you are lucky enough to defeat me, would a weakened Yenogu allow you to annex the Plains of Bone and grow stronger?
The servant overpowering the master; the outcome will only be more tragic for you.
If you join me, help me seize Yenogu’s Portal, I will move my expansion efforts into Yenogu’s Realm and leave your Grey-White Kingdom untouched."
Gaven demonstrated with real action what it means to use one’s words to defeat a formidable adversary.
His words directly caused the Ghoul King’s overall offensive to falter, especially those demonic incarnations attempting to attack the Lich Tower, whose enthusiasm greatly diminished, unwilling to risk even a bit.
Because Gaven’s reasoning was not profound nor baseless but rather commonsense.
Whether it’s the Bottomless Abyss or The Nine Hells, the foundation of dominion relies not on loyalty but on sheer power.
When power wanes, so does the foundation of control.
If the Jackalwere King’s strength is far below one’s own, expressing loyalty is futile; the opposite party would not dare trust.
Especially with an adept at conspiracy lurking in the shadows, undermining from within, this situation becomes more frequent.
In reality, the opposite side has already started doing so.
Evidence is in their focus on attacking the Jackalwere King’s Divine Nature Incarnation while only containing me.
"Don’t think you can use such poor tactics to sow discord between me and His Majesty, then defeat us individually!"
While dealing with the Father of Combat’s frenzied attacks, the Ghoul King loudly responded to Gaven.
Even if the Jackalwere King’s real body couldn’t teleport here, through Yenogu’s Siege’s Watchful Eye, he could surely see and hear everything happening here.
Gaven’s current actions are practically shouting out a conspiracy.
No.
It is intentional.
It’s meant for himself as well as the Jackalwere King.
One second ago, in Yenogu’s Siege, the Jackalwere King was furious at Gaven for sacrificing his Divine Nature Incarnation to the Father of Combat.
The next second, he fell silent, enveloped in endless cold.
Now he finds himself in a difficult situation—whether to continue sending reinforcements into the opposite territory?
If he continues, and the Ghoul King harbors a second intention, combining forces with the enemy to strike, the balance of power will instantly reverse, it will become many against few, losing more Divine Nature Incarnations.
If he stops sending reinforcements, the Ghoul King, originally loyal, would be forced into joining the opposition and aiming the war spear at him.
This silence lasted only seconds before the Jackalwere King’s mad howl resounded again, deeply penetrating everyone’s soul: "Cunning devil, do you think your eloquence will truly end this war?"
Doreisan, after this battle, I only want his Slaughter and Plunder Divinity. Not only will the Plains of Bone entirely belong to you, but I won’t touch his Undead Divine Office either, and you shall become the new Undead Monarch!"
