Chapter 1624: Chapter 191 Before the Final Battle_2
Ah Dai flew with Xuan Yue and said, "Yue Yue, do you think Vila and Di Ya the Clan Leader have a chance? They seem to have feelings for each other!"
Xuan Yue replied, "Affection is something that cannot be rushed. Anyway, we’ve done what we can, let everything happen naturally. Let’s see after some development over time. If they are meant to be, they’ll end up together. I think they are quite compatible; their identities, statuses, and appearances are all good. Now we don’t need to worry about them anymore, you should focus all your mind on how to battle against the Church of the Dark Saint. Ah Dai, be careful when you face the Undead Creatures; for your own sake and mine, nothing must happen to you."
Ah Dai smiled and said, "Don’t worry, my dear wife, I have absolute confidence in myself. Now that I’ve mastered the Sumeru Sword, I can test it on those high-level Undead Creatures and the Church of the Dark Saint. Evil can never triumph over justice, I’m certain of this." Holding Xuan Yue’s delicate body tightly, Ah Dai was filled with a desire to protect and said gently, "Yue Yue, once we enter the Death Mountain Range, you shouldn’t follow me. I need to charge forward with several Sword Saint seniors. You stay at the back and support us with magic along with the army of priests from your church."
Xuan Yue was shaken all over and resolutely said, "No, that’s absolutely not okay, I must stay by your side at all times. Aren’t you confident in yourself? Moreover, with my current magic skills, I don’t need you to protect me. I also have Phoenix’s Blood and the Ring of Guardian, I’m more than capable of taking care of myself. I don’t care; I can’t feel at ease with you alone at the front."
Ah Dai shook his head helplessly and said, "This military advance is different from when we came to explore. We must clear or convert the Undead Creatures of the Death Mountain Range step by step; otherwise, the army absolutely cannot advance. Besides, the Death Mountain Range is filled with the aura of evil and death, which might affect people’s nature."
Xuan Yue thought for a moment and said, "That’s nothing to worry about. Our church’s high-level priests are coming out in full force this time, though there are hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as we use large-scale Divine Blessing, there’s no need to fear the influence of the Evil Aura. Actually, numbers may not be useful; the key things are experts and magicians. Ordinary soldiers, even if well-trained, cannot confront those Undead Creatures!"
Ah Dai nodded and said, "I’ve also considered this issue. When we march into the Death Mountain Range, it’s best to use heavy-armored infantry entirely. Although it will slow down the advance significantly, at least the soldiers’ safety will be more guaranteed, and the remaining forces can act as support in the rear." At this moment, the two had returned to the allied army’s camp. Landing gently, Ah Dai dispersed the protective living aura, held Xuan Yue’s hand, and went straight to the Central Army’s Main Camp.
"Grandfather, we’re back." As soon as they entered the main camp, Xuan Yue cheerfully ran to the Pope’s side. The Pope was looking at the map of the Death Mountain Range, seeing Xuan Yue and Ah Dai return, he smiled slightly and said, "You little devil, you’re almost married, yet you’re still so wild. You’ll have to let Ah Dai manage you well in the future."
Xuan Yue pouted and laughed, "Am I not obedient enough now? There’s no problem on the Elf Clan side; the queen aunt said she’d bring the clan’s experts to the entrance of the Death Mountain Range early tomorrow morning."
The Pope sighed lightly and said, "The Elf Clan has indeed helped us tremendously, and here we are troubling them again. Ah Dai! You come here and give me a detailed explanation of the various Undead Creatures of the Twelve Tribulations, we’re about to launch an attack shortly, best to have an exact strategy ready."
Ah Dai nodded, walked to the Pope’s side, first glanced at the map of the Death Mountain Range, and pointed at the outermost mountains, "Grandfather, look, in the outermost area of the Death Mountain Range, there aren’t any enemies, last time we saw a large number of bone birds appear in the sky here. Those bone birds are about a meter long, completely made of bones, their attack power is very weak, but they are fearlessly bold and have regenerative abilities; they won’t truly die unless their bodies are completely destroyed. However, these bone birds are easy to deal with. Last time, I mentioned the essence of these bone birds is the gray mist enveloping their bodies. As long as the Holy Light Magic is used to eliminate this gray mist, these bone birds will self-destruct, making them the easiest kind of Undead Creatures to handle. Once we enter the Death Mountain Range, all we need is for Yue Yue or any Red Robe Priest to keep an eye on the sky. Further in is the second barrier guarded by Skeletons, they are much stronger than bone birds and have a certain level of intelligence; some high-level skeletons even have flying abilities. To deal with them is more troublesome; their bodies must be completely destroyed. I think Fire Magic has significant destructive power against them, so let’s have Grand Magician Larthas lead his Fire System magicians as the main attackers to incinerate their bones completely. Our army will cover them from behind, and those skilled among the Skeletons can be handled by me and several Sword Saint seniors. The third barrier consists of zombies, we avoided directly fighting them last time, so there haven’t been any real conflicts. These zombies are rather troublesome, they carry highly corrosive toxic gas. For this, we need the priests of the church to use the Light of Purification against them. I heard from the Resentful Spirits that these first three types of Undead Creatures lack intelligence and only attack instinctively, so we absolutely must not hold back and destroy them directly. Oh, grandfather, do you have any means to completely counteract the Evil Aura in the Death Mountain Range? If not, continually supporting the army with Light Magic isn’t sustainable!"
