Chapter 846: Chapter 535: The Battle of a Million Undead—The Eve of a Power Surge!
How can we limit the power of the Vampire Lord?
How can we limit that Elite Vampire Team?
"For now, don’t worry about that.."
After a while, Fang Zhou smiled lightly, slightly easing the tense atmosphere.
"First, let me ask a question, my warriors.
Should we seize this opportunity for an active strike?
Or should we hold firmly, strategically defend, and strive for a period of growth?"
"Strike, strike, we must strike!"
The first to speak was Apache, the recently "born" leader of the massive Spiritual Remains.
His character is like a volatile volcano, and having not made any achievements since his recent birth, he is eager for battle and rejoices at the sound of war.
"Explain your reasoning."
"My lord, that Vampire Lord just fought a devastating territory war with the Resentful Soul Lord.
Although the Vampire Lord killed the Resentful Soul Lord and achieved final victory, he also sustained some injuries, and his Undead Army was severely damaged.
According to the intelligence from our scouts, the Vampire Territory’s Undead Army was initially nearly 800,000 strong.
Now it has dwindled to under 500,000, with some troops suffering varying degrees of injury.
It can be said that now is the Vampire Lord’s weakest Golden period.
Seizing the opportunity is the best strategy for war.
We must not miss this chance."
"I agree with Apache’s opinion."
Sain, the leader of the Corrupt Hatred, also clearly expressed his stance.
"Our Undead Creatures are best at sustaining ourselves through war.
If we don’t seize this Golden opportunity for an active strike, once the Vampire Lord completely annexes the Resentful Soul Lord’s territory and absorbs the massive Undead Legions left behind, his power and influence will expand tremendously.
His Undead Army could possibly grow to a million strong.
By then, our defense will become considerably more difficult than it is now."
Soon after, Leblanc, the Ghost Leader, shared her perspective as well.
"I agree with both leaders, we should launch an active strike!
The Vampire Lord has already discovered our Tomb Territory.
However, due to the concealment of the Undead Sky Screen and your strategy of feigning weakness and keeping a low profile in the early stages, the Tomb Territory appears insignificant to the Vampire Lord and poses no concern.
But no matter what, we cannot allow others to sleep soundly under our bed.
Once the Vampire Lord assimilates the gains from the previous battle, he will surely come after us.
If we have to fight a defensive battle then, we will have no advantage."
"Exactly!
Although both you, my lord, and our Tomb Territory are growing at a pace much faster than ordinary Undead Territories.
The short growth period gained from strategic retrenchment cannot offset the speed of the enemy’s power growth after assimilating the spoils of war.
My opinion is to immediately launch an active strike!
Every day we delay gives the enemy more time to grow stronger."
Fang Zhou listened and nodded silently, then looked at the ever-silent Tidamia.
"My lord, this battle is feasible, victory is certain if we fight!"
These five Undead leaders, each with unique temperaments and strengths, rarely reached consensus on this matter.
This further solidified Fang Zhou’s determination to launch an active offensive.
"Good!"
He declared firmly, "In that case, after the meeting adjourns, everyone should immediately start mobilizing the army to prepare for an assault on the Vampire Territory.
Now, let’s discuss the second issue.
How do we deal with the Vampire Lord’s special unit?"
"Master, I think we shouldn’t worry too much about this unit."
At this moment, Sain stood up and answered, "In terms of strength alone, this Vampiric unit, whose power is generally at Silver Rank, is not particularly strong.
It’s just that they have always been hidden in the dark, launching sudden attacks to disrupt the Resentful Spirit troops.
If we can find a way to force this unit out of hiding, compelling them to engage in direct combat, then eliminating them is not very difficult."
Sain’s words made Fang Zhou nod in agreement.
In the recent times, under the threat of the Vampire Lord, Fang Zhou had been frantically using resources to enhance the strength of each general under his command.
Sain’s strength was already very close to Silver Middle Rank, and with a bit more time, he would naturally break through.
Moreover, the absolute main force of Fang Zhou’s Tomb Undead Army, the [Spiritual Remains Knight], possesses excellent restraint capabilities against infantry, especially Vampire sword and shield infantry.
As long as this restraint can be utilized, wiping out this unit is truly not a difficult task.
"This unit is not a concern, I can handle it completely."
Sain appeared full of confidence, being the leader of Fang Zhou’s Personal Guard of Spiritual Remains Knights, he indeed possessed this capability.
Currently, Fang Zhou’s Silver Lower Rank Spiritual Remains Knights number over a thousand.
These Spiritual Remains Knights are Fang Zhou’s most prized Undead unit.
Not only are their attack and defense power considered top-notch among the same rank of Undead Creatures, but they also have the ability for low-altitude flight, allowing them to form a low-altitude charge formation, maximizing their mobility.
Additionally, they possess the unique Spirit Body Transformation ability of the Ghost Race, providing them an extremely high dodge and immunity rate against physical attacks.
Each attack is also accompanied by high Soul Attribute damage, capable of directly delivering a difficult-to-defend strike to the enemy’s Soul Fire.
It can be said that, apart from being costly, the Spiritual Remains Knight is a top-tier unit even among Silver Tier Undead Creatures.
