‘Bang!’

Twilight City obtained the victory of this small-scale when the last undead soldier fell.

Although it did not take long, Richard, as he watched the battle from afar, felt that this was the most riveting battle he had fought in the past few days.

Because of the execution of Soul Destruction, he had to be extremely careful.

No matter how many plans he made, the scorpion warrior was still beheaded by the undead soldiers in the end.

Richard would have to pay a heavy price in casualties if he recklessly took on three and a half teams of the Axe of the Dead, even if he would win in the end.

Richard stood up and approached the battlefield. The bodies and equipment of the undead soldiers rapidly decayed and corroded…

It was the characteristic of the undead soldier. After being killed, it would quickly decay.

“There are still two and a half teams of the undead soldiers left… We’ll lure another wave while the mummies are still capable of the Sand Transformation.”

However, he wasn’t too confident in luring them this time.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, a wild troop without a leader would be easier to deal with…

A few minutes later, the second undead soldiers arrived when the mummies’ Sand Transformation was about to pa.s.s.

Richard was in a great mood. It indeed happened.

Following the same pattern as the experience from last time, the cursed pharaoh did not allow the undead soldiers to escape in advance this time.

The mummy crawled out from the ground to prevent the movements of the undead soldiers. The cursed pharaoh controlled them at the critical moment, and the poisonous scorpion warrior killed them. The three of them worked together to fight the enemies.

The Axe of the Dead could use its tomahawk to deal damage far above its level.

However, its most vital point was also a breakthrough point.

After the scorpion warrior got close to them, the undead soldiers, while they could not use the Tomahawk Slash, fell to the ground one by one under the three-in-one attack.

After the second wave of hunting, the system rang with a notification.

[Ding~ The scorpion warriors have been through a lot of battles. Their level has increased. It is currently level 4.]

Richard laughed.

He had brought the scorpion warriors with him to wipe out quite some troops over the past few days. Now, he had received some rewards.

He immediately sent his troops to attack the enemy’s lair after they dealt with the two troops of undead soldiers.

At the same time, he replaced the mummy that had used the Sand Transformation and sent his team of guards into battle.

He did not attack recklessly. After thinking for a while, he decided to use the bandaged mummies that killed the nak trolls and desert wolves.

“Everyone, activate the Sand Transformation and sneak in from underground. The mummy will hold them off while the cursed pharaoh controls them to buy time for the scorpion warriors to kill them all!”

Four squads attacked one and a half squads.

It was a battle for wealth.

After setting up, Richard came to the top of the sand dune and watched the battle about to begin.

In the vast desert, the more one used the Sand Transformation. The more one felt it had endless potential.

All of them had robust characteristics, whether to attack, escape, or even be used for recovery from injuries.

It was a top-tier skill.

In the distance, the fallen undead soldiers had already sensed something was wrong.

They approached each other, and while they vigilantly watched their surroundings, blue soul flames slowly flowed out of their empty eye sockets.

Although the enemy was strong, without a leader, it was like a pile of loose sand that could not unleash its most vital power.

A rustling sound slowly heaved.

Suddenly, the undead soldiers, while on alert, heard a strange sound coming from underground. They lowered their heads and looked around as they tried to confirm what had happened.

‘Swis.h.!.+’

Suddenly, the arms that had been dry all this time stretched out of the desert and grabbed the undead soldiers’ feet tightly.

After that, the mummies crawled out one by one from the sand.

A few of the undead soldiers moved quickly. Without waiting for the mummies to repress them all together, the sharp axes in their hands whistled and directly threw out their hands.

‘Puchi!’

With powerful impact, the ma.s.sive tomahawks directly hit a few mummies. The mummies received the impact, and their bodies immediately exploded with a sizzling sound. Sand flew all over the sky.

[Tomahawk Slash (C-rank) — You can throw a tomahawk within 30 meters to attack the enemy. You can retrieve the tomahawk through the chains on your arms which could cause magic damage to the enemy.]

[This powerful C-rank skill coupled with fetters could cause ma.s.sive magic damage.]

[Although Sand Transformation was immune to 99% of physical damage and was powerful, it was just right to be counterattacked by it.]

The undead soldiers pulled hard, and the tomahawks that hit the mummies seemed to have their own lives as they directly circled from the back.

‘Crack!’ A tomahawk hit another mummy.

The mummy that forcefully held the undead soldier off could no longer withstand it. Its body fell to the ground like sand. The mummy became one with the endless yellow sand.

It died.

Fortunately, there were still two small teams of mummies. One or two deaths could not change the overall situation.

When the mummies climbed up one by one, a cursed pharaoh and scorpion warrior appeared simultaneously.

At this time, the furious undead soldiers still crazily attacked the surrounding mummies. They tried to eradicate these disgusting enemies.

By the time they realized something was wrong, the cursed pharaoh had already used Crowd Control.

Cursed words.

The curse directly immobilized the undead soldier’s movements.

The bandaged mummy and the scorpion warrior took this opportunity to launch an attack.

The bandaged mummies repressed the opponent’s movement while the scorpion warrior’s venomous, sharper than a spear tail, stabbed like lightning.

‘Clang! Clang!’

The sound of metal while they clashed exploded.

The intensely sharp scorpion tail pierced through the helmet of the undead soldier.

The undead soldier, as it struggled, suddenly stiffened. After twitching a few times, the soul fire in the helmet exploded and was extinguished.

After killing one undead soldier, the scorpion warrior did not hesitate by all means and directly charged at the second one.

The only pity was that although the pharaoh’s cursed words were powerful, one small team could not control all of the undead soldiers.

‘Whoos.h.!.+’ The tomahawk tore through the sky under the pull of the chains wrapped around its arms.

One of the poisonous scorpion warrior’s chests exploded, and a huge hole appeared.

Its body crazily swallowed the yellow sand under its feet to fill the hole and visibly recovered.

However, the other undead soldiers near the scorpion warrior did not give the enemy a chance to recover.

‘Whoos.h.!.+’ The chains rattled, and they directly threw tomahawks as they swore to kill these scorpion warriors on the spot.

At this moment, a bandaged mummy sensed that the situation was not right. It suddenly rushed forward to use its sharp claws to block the tomahawk.

‘Clang! Clang!’

The terrifying strength of the tomahawk directly shattered the sharp claws.

‘Shasha!’

It slashed into the bandaged mummy’s chest.

Soul Execution!

The enemy activated the skill once again.

The bandaged mummy was like a sandman that directly dissipated into the sand.

‘Slas.h.!.+’

When the other bandaged mummies saw this, they rushed forward like madmen and forcefully attacked the two undead soldiers.

Although their hands’ sharp claws could not deal fatal damage, they still attacked wildly…

The battle became more and more intense due to the emergence of casualties.

It had to be said that the undead soldiers were overbearing. Even if the enemies had the advantage in number and initiative, they still managed to kill several enemies with their tomahawks.

However, no matter how fierce the resistance was, a much stronger troop was futile.

The battle of vengeance ended when the last two undead soldiers were swarmed by more than ten bandaged mummies and torn the enemies into pieces.

[Ding~ The troop you led destroyed a group of undead soldiers and won a mini scale-battle. You gained 175 experience points.]

After the battle subsided, Richard led the remaining mummy guards into the battlefield.

He glanced at the decayed undead soldiers. He turned his eyes to the corpses of the resident soldiers of Twilight City not far away.

“Bring them back to Twilight City.”

His eyes had a perplexed look, but they soon returned to calmness.

“The warriors who sacrificed themselves to fulfill my orders can be called heroes…

There would be countless more such sacrifices in the future. Benevolence did not rule the army, and righteousness did not care about money.”

As the ruler of Twilight City, he had to have a strong enough heart.

This world could not keep the weak.

After the mummies had buried the bodies, Richard turned his attention to the troop’s lair behind the towering cactus. It was an exceptional colossal harvest.

An Elite 3-star troop’s lair meant he could upgrade it to rare-level.

He could directly recruit rare-level undead soldiers!

He had experienced these terrifying soldiers’ power and how oppressive they would be to upgrade them to rare-level!

[Ding~ You have discovered a battle axe wooden house. You can either recruit the Axe of the Dead from it or destroy it to obtain the core of the lair.]
