Chapter 2428: Chapter 1075: Luring with Profits (Part 3)
Yet Gaven seemed more than happy to let it happen; not only did he not try to stop it, he didn’t even have the slightest intention of touching that Obris Demon Skeleton.
At first, he couldn’t quite understand it.
But after following the other party for a while, he started to get it.
Because the other party’s ability was too strong—so strong he could even pick and choose among Divine Nature Force.
The Divine Nature Force they treated as priceless treasure, he treated as a scourge.
He was taking one solid step after another to forge his own Divine Path, the one that fit him best.
At the beginning, it might be extremely difficult.
But once the path was opened, his future would be immeasurable.
Back to the point, it was precisely because he had this kind of boldness that they had gone from being forced at the start to now willingly selling their lives for him.
"Since we’ve already reached a consensus, let’s start preparing the next phase of the battle plan!" Gaven steered the topic back on track. "Tell me your thoughts."
"Master, however you arrange it is how we’ll fight." the Giant Bone King said without hesitation. "When it comes to strategy and tactics, we’re not even worthy to carry your shoes!"
"That way of thinking is wrong." Gaven replied with a serious expression. "I can only control the overall situation; you are the front-line War Commanders. You must not lose the ability to think. Right or wrong, you have to think, you have to speak."
"Master’s rebuke is very justified." the Giant Bone King hastily admitted his mistake. "I believe the betrayal of the Ghoul King, the true body of the King of the Jackalweres being trapped by the King of the Minotaurs Baphoment, and the heavy casualties suffered by his Divine Nature Incarnation—this series of events will deal a huge shock to the Jackalweres in Yenogu’s Realm and cause no small amount of chaos.
We must seize this rare opportunity and inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible.
But if we can’t send our main army over and only dispatch a small number of Elites to face countless Abyssal Jackalweres, I’m afraid the damage we cause will be very limited."
"If we really want to send our Undead Army over, it might not be as difficult as you think!" The Skeleton Dragon King, rarely, put forward an opinion.
"Oh, His Excellency Imran, what good suggestion do you have? Let’s hear it." Not only did Gaven show an interested expression, the other two Advanced Undead Lords couldn’t help turning their heads to look at him as well.
Although he had been transformed from a Red Dragon Skeleton, there were hardly any traces of arrogance or unruliness left on him; most of the time, he appeared silent and low-key.
"Don’t forget, our main force is Undead, and we can rapidly recruit through the Soul Pool."
The Skeleton Dragon King replied, "Since Master can channel Soul Energy along the laid Skeleton Road, then we can just directly build a sky-piercing Skeleton Tower and send Soul Energy straight into Yenogu’s Realm.
We build a Soul Pool there, and those regular Undead Troops can be recruited on a large scale right on the spot.
The only ones that need to be Teleported over are the high-Level Undead Troops."
"Your wild idea is really something else." Not to mention those two Advanced Undead Lords—even Gaven couldn’t help letting out heartfelt praise. "And to be honest, your plan is actually quite feasible.
But we don’t need to make it that troublesome; we only need to set up a corresponding Magic Array in Yenogu’s Realm, and I’ll be able to pour Undead Slaughter Divine Power over there.
This can be treated as, just like the full-scale Divine War, our backup plan.
If we can’t crack the secrets of Howling Peaks, we’ll use this kind of workaround.
No—we do both in parallel.
I’ll stay here and try to unravel the secrets of Howling Peaks. You lead part of the Elites to Yenogu’s Siege to wreak havoc, establish a forward outpost, and form a Vanguard Army on the spot.
That way we’ll become extremely flexible and mobile; not only will the enemy be unable to get a read on our true strength, even our unreliable ally won’t be able to gauge us.
You see, this is why I said we should pool our wisdom. Any more, even better suggestions?
Regardless of whether you think they’re useful or not, put them all out there. They might have reference value."
"Speaking of Elites, Master, why don’t you hand all those Jackalwere Chosen over to me and let me try controlling them via Soul Infusion. Every one we control will make us that much stronger." The Burning Flames Queen proposed with great interest.
It was obvious she’d gotten addicted after using Soul Infusion to control the Jackalwere Queen and wanted to copy this method onto the other Jackalwere Chosen.
If it were just her alone, she could only deal with one Jackalwere Chosen.
But with the Jackalwere Queen’s cooperation, handling two to three of them would be an easy task.
"Even if you hadn’t said it, I was already planning to have you do that." Gaven replied with a smile. "Your Soul Infusion is currently our only way to directly make these Jackalwere Chosen serve us.
We just need to slightly change the way we control them.
You directly control another one or two; that’s enough.
As for the rest, let the other Corpse Burning Flame Spirits give it a try. Once they succeed,
we’ll gain another batch of high-end combat power. We’ll still be far from matching the Divine Nature Incarnation of the King of the Jackalweres, but it’ll be more than enough to overbear the other Jackalwere Chosen."
This was another benefit of being an Undead Force: the enemy could be fully exploited to enhance one’s own combat power.
Soul Infusion was only the sole direct method, not the only method.
If they failed in their attempts, there was still the option of converting them into Undead.
It was just that doing so would be a bit of a waste.
After being converted into Undead, the Jackalwere Chosen’s Professional Levels would generally drop by two, and their Divine Power Giant Transformation as Jackalwere Chosen would be gone; their combat power would shrink by more than just a little.
The Jackalwere Queen controlled by the Burning Flames Queen via Soul Infusion had her Berserk Divine Power locked within her Soul as fuel for Soul-Infused Burning, so her Divine Power Giant Transformation ability was still usable.
It even gave her Attacks an innate Flame special effect; once she grappled an enemy, the raging flames on her body could scorch them.
Of course, it wasn’t without any impact at all. Other Divine Power abilities that required Berserk Divine Power couldn’t be used anymore, such as the Divine Power Shield and Divine Power Shockwave.
Taking both sides into account, overall, the impact wasn’t that great.
