Chapter 847: Chapter 535: The Million Undead Battle, On the Eve of a Power Surge! (Part 2)
If facing the Silver Guard of the Vampire Lord head-on, Fang Zhou had specially forged Corrosive Poison Totem and Revival Altar to provide buffs and debuffs.
Even if the enemy’s Silver Vampire Guard numbered over 2000, while the number of Spiritual Remains Knights had just reached half of that.
But as long as the Spiritual Remains Knights formed a charging formation to launch a charge, it would be enough to easily tear apart any enemy daring to block them.
In this respect, both the Guard Captain Sain and Fang Zhou had absolute confidence.
If even this couldn’t be accomplished, then the ace force that Fang Zhou had gathered using Undead Realm’s Spiritual Remains authority, Naraku civilization’s unit data, and the wisdom achievements of Blue Star People’s Undead Mages, investing substantial resources from the territory to cultivate, would be a joke.
"My lord, the only trouble is that the Vampire Lord’s personal combat strength is truly astonishing. Even Tidamia suffered at his hands during observation."
Following Sain’s words, Leblanc continued: "If we can’t suppress him in terms of high-level strength, even if we win, the outcome won’t be what we desire."
Indeed, if we successfully defeated the opponent but allowed a hidden time bomb in the dark to escape.
The Vampire Lord’s terrifying combat ability, reaching Silver Upper Rank, will surely make everyone feel as if there’s a guillotine hanging over their neck, ready to drop at any moment.
"High-level strength, huh?"
Fang Zhou gently caressed his Spiritual Remains Long Spear, feeling a bit itchy for action.
He had just advanced to Silver Middle Rank, with his main attribute of strength breaking through 5000 points.
Regarding four-dimensional attributes alone, the Vampire Lord, who had settled for who knows how long at Silver Upper Rank, would definitely far surpass Fang Zhou.
But after countless battles, Fang Zhou long understood that four-dimensional attributes are merely a quantified analytical indicator of biological levels, not an absolute representation of combat power.
Besides four-dimensional attributes, there are racial combat power coefficients, talent abilities, and the skills mastered, all important components of individual combat power.
And in these aspects, Fang Zhou had absolute confidence to crush the Vampire Lord.
As for racial talents, the Vampire Lord had the Flesh Splitting ability.
Yet Fang Zhou possessed three major racial talents: Skeletal Armament, Corrosive Poison Incarnation, and Death Spirit Body.
Especially the Corrosive Poison Incarnation skill, which granted Fang Zhou the ability to inflict healing-ban damage on the Vampire Lord.
This created a significant attribute restraint.
And in terms of racial combat power coefficient, Fang Zhou had devoured countless resources to grow this far.
From the Corpse Hill to the Wasteland of Strife, Fang Zhou’s mastery over the Undead Blood Moon authority had gradually deepened.
He was confident, absolutely not inferior to the Vampire Lord.
As for combat skills, there’s no need to say more.
Back in the Apprentice Stage, Fang Zhou carefully paired a whole set of balanced offensive and defensive combat skills for his clone based on the Human Alliance Combat Professional’s Universal Skills system.
And updated and developed them all the way to the current Silver Tier, with Fang Zhou handling these skills effortlessly.
As for what skills the Vampire Lord, as a native undead of the Wasteland of Strife, could possess?
Not to mention, during the evolution to Spiritual Remains Lord, Fang Zhou received blessings from the Undead Blood Moon Will again at the Blood Moon Observatory, gaining the Blood Moon Incarnation ability through the Blood Moon Mask.
In the Blood Moon Incarnation state, Fang Zhou’s four-dimensional attributes would significantly increase enough to break limits.
With full combat power unleashed, just how formidable was he now?
Fang Zhou was filled with anticipation.
He hoped this Silver Upper Rank Vampire Lord could endure more, allowing him to enjoy the battle longer.
........
In the command room, Fang Zhou fell into deep thought, and naturally, the other undead commanders remained silent.
They were all waiting for Fang Zhou’s opinion.
In fact, everyone understood that this was not an issue.
The simplest way to restrict the Vampire Lord’s combat power was for Fang Zhou himself to take action.
"Alright, I’ll settle the high-level combat power issue."
Fang Zhou thought for a moment and decided that if it truly didn’t work, he would have to act personally.
Karsas nodded: "As long as you, my lord, take action, there will be no problem.
Our Tomb Mage Corps will support you in every way!
However, Tidamia, as the general commander, you must be careful. The Vampire Lord loves using surprise troops.
He always uses them in ways that are unexpected yet very fitting.
If you can’t deal with this, even if we win, there would be no good outcome."
"Hmph, surprise troops?"
Tidamia snorted heavily: "If I had an army of ten thousand Spiritual Remains Knights, let alone mere vampires, even a Corpse Witch or Bone Dragon could be torn to shreds!"
"Don’t indulge in such fantasies," Fang Zhou replied with a smile.
He knew Tidamia was skilled at cavalry charges, and if you provided this charging general with enough forces, he could accomplish exponentially more.
However, Fang Zhou indeed did not have so many troops available now.
The current scale of the Undead Army and the number of elite Silver units were the result of Fang Zhou’s all-out efforts to muster resources to create them.
It would be challenging to achieve more growth in a short time.
"Once we win this war, I will naturally build a vast army!"
Fang Zhou paused, then continued: "An army so vast that no one can hinder my progress."
.........
War in the Undead Realm has a characteristic not found in the Mythical World: no need for supply lines.
Once it’s decided to fight, troops can be mobilized within a day, and the battle will commence.
The same was true for Fang Zhou’s side.
Once the combat targets were determined, the 500,000 strong Tomb Undead Army began assembling.
The overall commander of the operation was Fang Zhou, but the mobilization of forces on the frontline remained Tidamia’s responsibility.
After long-term targeted cultivation, he was entirely a commanding type of undead general, possessing tactics to enhance troops’ combat power.
The Tomb forces commanded by him could exhibit their maximum combat effectiveness.
Fang Zhou knew his traits, so he had no intention of stripping him of war command, still letting him direct the troops.
However, Fang Zhou pulled aside the Spiritual Remains Knights and Spiritual Remains Mage troops.
To counter the surprise troops of the Vampire Lord, Fang Zhou pondered for quite some time and only came up with one countermeasure.
That was surprise troops against surprise troops.
So you have a Silver Tier Vampire unit as a surprise troop?
Well, I too could set up a surprise troop that doesn’t belong to the normal combat formations.
Once the war reached a total stalemate, it’s all about who couldn’t resist showing their hand first.
The one who reveals their trump card first is definitely the last loser.
..........
The grand 500,000 strong Tomb Undead Army set out mightily for the Vampire Territory.
On the other side, the Vampire Lord also responded immediately, quickly assembling his forces.
The Vampire Lord’s troops originally consisted of nearly 800,000 Black Iron and Bronze undead creatures.
After a bloody battle and slaying the Resentful Spirit Lord, its undead army was also significantly reduced.
Despite continuously digesting and absorbing the rich legacy left by the Resentful Spirit Lord, it now only recovered to a size of 600,000.
Among them, Black Iron undead creatures like Skeleton Warriors and Zombies accounted for an absolute majority, numbering just over 500,000.
Advanced Zombies, Ghosts, and other Bronze undead creatures numbered around seventy to eighty thousand.
As for Silver tier elite undead creatures, the Vampire Lord had many more under his command compared to Fang Zhou.
Even excluding the 2000 Silver Vampire Guards with unclear movements that didn’t appear on the battlefield, the remaining Silver Vampires and Resentful Spirits still numbered nearly 2000.
However, overall, the Vampire Lord’s undead army, while having a numerical advantage over the Tomb Undead Legion, held no worth when comparing its troop quality to the disparity.
