Chapter 844: Chapter 534: Strategy Before Battle, Birth of the Tomb’s Famous Commanders

The dividing line here is a river that has long since dried up, leaving only an empty riverbed that seems to testify that even the Undead Realm once had real rivers.

This river, which has been dried for an unknown number of years, serves as the demarcation line between Bronze-level Undead Lords and Silver-level Undead Lords in the Wasteland of Strife.

Rarely do lower-level Undead cross this river into the world of high-level Undead, and similarly, high-level Undead rarely return to the domain of lower-level Undead.

Fang Zhou is now riding his Yellow Springs Nightmare floating above this former river.

Looking from here, Fang Zhou can see the entire Vampire territory.

On this side of the river gather Skeleton Warriors, Zombies, Advanced Zombies, Ghosts, and other middle and low-tier Undead groups.

On the other side of the river, it’s the world of Vampires.

Compared to Skeletons, Zombies, and Ghosts, Vampires appear very orderly.

The birthplace of Vampires is usually a Vampire Castle.

Generally speaking, when a Vampire is born, it will choose its own Lord.

Most choose the master of the castle where they were born as their Lord.

These ruling-class Vampires often have absolute control over the Vampires born in their domain.

But occasionally, there are exceptions, where some Vampires are innately strong and temperamentally violent, unwilling to accept any rule. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

In such cases, the Lord often takes direct action to kill the Vampire that does not submit to their rule.

There are also rare situations where the rebellious Vampire possesses power greater than the Lord.

They will not hesitate to tear apart the Vampire Lord’s Heart Core and succeed as a more powerful Vampire Lord.

It is precisely because Vampires have this uncommon "excellent" tradition of rising up from below among Undead Creatures that in general Vampire territories, Vampire Lords strive to keep the strength of their subordinate Vampires within a range they can fully control.

For instance, in the current Vampire territory, only the Vampire Lord is a Silver Upper Rank Undead Creature.

The other Vampires or Resentful Spirits at most reach Silver Middle Rank, and their numbers are few.

The remaining Silver-level Undead Creatures remain at Silver Lower Rank.

As for those that touched the Vampire Lord’s red line, with strength approaching Silver Upper Rank, they have all mysteriously disappeared.

Of course, everything has its pros and cons.

For the Vampire Lord, this is also a double-edged sword.

Although strictly controlling the strength of the Undead subordinates ensures absolute safety and no threats within their territory,

from another perspective, when facing external threats, there are not strong enough subordinates to help share the burden.

And Fang Zhou is now eyeing the Vampires’ blood talent represented by the Vampire Lord, along with the abundant resources on his vast territory, with covetous and greedy intent.

The lack of medium and high-end forces within the enemy’s ruling system is naturally a great boon for Fang Zhou.

........

Fang Zhou’s gaze stretches far, beyond the Vampire territory, looking at the endless gray fog at the edge of the Wasteland of Strife world.

From the archaeological findings in the ruins of the Naraku Civilization, the Undead Realm was originally a vast and boundless continuous land.

Passing through the Vampire domain and continuing forward, there are the Death Pyramid tomb clusters where Corpse Witches are active.

The Sighing Plain where Undead Knights, Dark Knights, and Terror Knights live and battle.

The Hell Volcano filled with various Mutated Undead Creatures.

The Eternal Icefield also filled with various ice-type Mutated Undead Creatures.

The Yin Wind Valley, haunted by wandering ghosts and spirits.

The Death Mountain Range, where various Undead Creatures cohabit, filled with bloodshed.

And there’s more...

The Undead Realm was initially much larger than many anticipated, but all that was destroyed in the unprecedented blood war between the Abyssal Demons and the Naraku Civilization, where many guardian gods of the races fell.

"Tidamia." Fang Zhou waved his whip, pointing forward.

"If I initiate an assault now, how long will it take them to assemble their army?"

"No more than two hours!"

Tidamia replied, "That Vampire Lord’s control over his troops is exceptional.

Based on my previous observations, when that already defeated Resentful Spirit Lord clashed with him, they were caught off guard.

Plus, given his inherently strong power, defeating him is very difficult."

"Two hours, is it?" Fang Zhou nodded.

"That speed is barely within my acceptable range.

Strike while the iron is hot.

No matter how strong this Vampire Lord is, he cannot absorb and convert battle results more efficiently than our Tombyard Undead.

Taking advantage of his recent land war victory, before he can digest the spoils, we’ll launch an assault and seize this fleeting opportunity.

Come, let’s return. I have a plan."

........

Upon returning to the Tomb Territory, Fang Zhou directly summoned his Undead leaders and the Centurions of Spiritual Remains, holding a full tombyard military joint meeting in the battle command room.

Spiritual Remains Knight leader Tidamia.

Corrupt Hatred leader Sain.

Resentful Spirit leader Leblanc.

Spiritual Remains Mage leader Karsas.

Spiritual Remains Giant Bat leader Apache.

And 50 Silver-level Spiritual Remains Centurions.

This constitutes the core military command team of the Tombyard Undead Army, which now numbers 500,000 strong.
