Chapter 1647: Chapter 196: Lord of the Undead_2
Ah Dai said: "It seems that I must have a good discussion with Grandpa Pope to see how we can deal with these powerful Undead Creatures. If it’s just the Church of the Dark Saint, the human army can easily handle it, but these high-level Undead Creatures behind them are our true formidable foes! If we can still maintain our current strength after eliminating the Fire Sprites and Bone Dragons, we should be able to ally and challenge the three Lords of the Undead. Tian Yuan Continent belongs to humans; I absolutely will not allow the Demon Realm to invade." A massive aura surged from his entire body, radiating intense killing intent from Ah Dai. This overwhelming killing intent made Qian Qian’s delicate body tremble involuntarily, and she exclaimed in shock: "You, you have such heavy killing intent, it seems I underestimated you."
With the killing intent withdrawn, Ah Dai smiled wryly and said: "I’m afraid the killing intent comes from having killed too many people."
Qian Qian shook her head and said: "No, this is definitely not something that comes from killing many. I am an Energy Body and currently a God Spirit, most sensitive to aura detection. Just now, I could clearly sense the death aura radiating from you. It’s a death aura different from the Undead or evil creatures. The aura emanating from you is actually a sacred death aura. This is something I’ve never seen before. Even the former Sky God and demon didn’t have such an aura. Your aura is unique."
Ah Dai sighed lightly and smiled: "No matter what kind of aura it is, I only want to completely eradicate the Undead Creatures here and then stop the Church of the Dark Saint’s actions. Qian Qian, I must go back now, I’ve been out for quite a while, everyone will worry about me. Are you really not coming with me?"
Qian Qian looked at Ah Dai with nostalgia, floated up, and gave him a light kiss on the face. The tremor from the depths of her soul made Ah Dai shiver slightly, looking at her with some embarrassment.
"Go on, my little lover; you don’t need to come looking for me anymore. I will always be by your side. Keep it up, I believe you can accomplish this impossible task."
Ah Dai nodded gently, took a deep look at the sorrowful girl in front of him, floated up, and headed towards the Rotten Dragon Territory. Watching his departing figure, Qian Qian sighed lightly and murmured to herself: "He doesn’t have a handsome appearance, nor an etheral demeanor like God Feather, but why does his place in my heart keep getting heavier? Alas, maybe it’s because he is the Savior. He is much more humanized than God Feather’s version of a Savior. No matter what, I will do my best to ensure his safety, after all, he is the first person willing to die for me." Gradually fading away, Qian Qian vanished into thin air.
Soon, Ah Dai was back among the crowd. The giant Magic Array personally constructed by the Pope and four Red Robe Priests was complete. It was made up of six supporting Arrays. The coverage encompassed the entire territory of the Rotten Dragon, and within the barrier formed by these energy-laden Magic Arrays, all evil aura vanished completely. Fifty thousand Sacred Knights had arrived here, each equipped with a week’s supply, simply camped and settled down. Today, the priests and Magicians, who were the primary attackers, rested within the barrier, while the three Sword Saints, along with the Pope and Red Robe Priests, gathered together, awaiting Ah Dai’s return.
Landing lightly in front of the crowd, Ah Dai appeared somewhat weary, having experienced several battles throughout the day. The words spoken by Qian Qian also took their emotional toll on him, making his disposition appear somewhat desolate. Xuan Yue approached Ah Dai and said with concern: "You must be tired. Do you want to take a rest first?"
Ah Dai shook his head and said: "I just now realized how powerful the enemies we face are! Grandpa Pope, apart from the fifty thousand Sacred Knights here, don’t bring the Allied Forces in." The Pope looked at Ah Dai’s expression, knowing he must have faced some setbacks during this endeavor, and asked: "Did you encounter the Undead Fairy? What did she say?"
Ah Dai looked around the crowd, recounted the tale told by Qian Qian without mentioning his intent to die for her, only saying that he had met the Lord and successfully slain him. As everyone listened to his recounting of the last five stages after the Twelve Tribulations of the Undead, their expressions grew increasingly solemn. The shock to them from the Bone Dragon Corps and the three Lords of the Undead was far greater than to Ah Dai. The initial excitement from successfully eradicating the Rotten Dragon today disappeared completely; even the Pope remained silent, his face grave, unable to say a word.
"That’s how it is. The strength of the three Lords of the Undead is something we hadn’t anticipated. Regular soldiers would only be sent to their deaths; to avoid casualties, I suggest concentrating the strong from various forces and not allowing ordinary soldiers to participate in this battle."
After hearing Ah Dai’s words, the Pope fell silent for a long time, before he said: "In the war between justice and evil, sacrifices are inevitable, and their sacrifices have value. If the Undead Creatures are as strong as you say, with the people we have here, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to break through! Right now, we have around eighty thousand Heavy Armored Soldiers, we will assemble them as the backup forces when we charge inside. If we can contend with the Undead Creatures behind, naturally there’s no need for them to participate, but if our strength is insufficient, we must mobilize these elite human soldiers to attack. Xuan Ye, immediately return to our territory in the Tian Yuan Clan’s forest, gather all the strong and Magicians from various forces and bring them here, concentrate our strength, rest for a few days, and then continue our breakthrough."
