Facts have proven that the more you are afraid of something happening, the easier it is to happen
Soon, Cassius's command came.
"Orest, transform all the blue-footed dragon snakes present into undead skeletons."
"."
The Lich was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Master, but this consumption is too great, I"
Although [Melkor's Bone Scepter] has the ability to cast the nine-ring spell [Undead Scourge], the transformation of the undead still requires the caster's own strength to be performed.
The consumption of transforming a very large creature like the Green-footed Dragon Snake into an undead skeleton is huge.
And here are the remains of hundreds of green-footed dragon snakes!
If all the green-footed dragon snakes present were transformed into undead creatures, it would be enough to create a terrifying skeleton army, but it would also consume one-third of the soul power he had accumulated over hundreds of years.
What's even more tragic is that the originally transformed undead will feed their souls back to the necromancer who summoned them.
As for the undead transformed by the Lich - their master can only be Cassius, and he himself is at best the medium of summoning, or even a poor sacrifice, with no right to control or absorb these undead.
"Nothing but."
"Do you want to disobey my order?"
Cassius looked down at the lich, the invisible dragon's power descended, and there was an undisguised threat in his pale golden pupils.
Hart, who was next to him, also pulled out a long knife and put it on the Lich's neck: "Lich! Do you want to disobey His Majesty's order?"
"Hurry up and transform it for Your Majesty!"
In the past, the Lich would never take a newborn corpse demon seriously.
But now, under the terrible pressure of the red dragon, Orest could only tremble. He had no choice but to think of the scene of the red dragon tearing the earth apart, and felt frightened by it.
He tried his best to convince himself in his heart: "It's just a little soul power. Maybe by serving this red dragon, I will get more power in the future."
Hart scolded again: "Hurry up! Do you want His Majesty to wait for you?"
Orest finally lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Of course not, Master. I am just thinking about how to transform the most perfect immortal skeleton for you. Only in this way can I live up to your ardent expectations."< br>
The red dragon smiled and said: "Oh, that's pretty much it, so let's do it quickly."
"This is just a necessary payment."
"This little soul power is nothing at all."
The Lich secretly comforted himself while raising the [Skeleton Staff of Melkor] with a rather tragic expression.
This scepter, which was originally used to set off the undead disaster in Anzeta and complete Melkor's mission of sacrificing souls, was used by the Lich to create an undead army for the red dragon.
With a sad face, Orest sang: "O bones that have been covered in dust for a long time, I call for your return"
【Disaster of the Undead】
The ghostly light flashed on the skeletal scepter, releasing extremely powerful necromantic power.
"Click, click"
A small voice sounded.
The skeleton of the Green-footed Dragon Snake on the ground began to tremble continuously. The fragmented bones were gradually pieced together and gathered together. The surface was filled with mist formed by the undead energy, connecting these bones.
"Rust, rustle"
It’s the sound of bones rubbing against each other, and bones rubbing against rocks.
The dragons and snakes pieced together from the bones began to move like they were in life, twisting and moving as they did in life, and the dozens of pairs of bones and feet were also moving rapidly.
In the end, the skeletons of hundreds of green-footed dragon snakes were all turned into undead skeletons. These behemoths, which were more than ten meters long, wandered on the ground and walls like living creatures, awkwardly entangled with each other from time to time.
"I am your master!"
"Ouch——"
When Cassius's will was lowered, hundreds of skeletal dragon snakes bowed their heads to the red dragon and let out a low roar. This scene was quite spectacular.
Unlike the intelligent zombies, the skeleton dragon snakes are pure undead servants with only the most basic instincts.
This batch of biological weapons that were once manufactured by giants and specifically used to deal with giant dragons have now become the weapons of Red Dragon's men, which is quite ironic.
"Your Majesty, the transformation is over."
The lich's voice seemed particularly weak, and the will-o'-the-wisp in his eyes became a bit dim.
Obviously, in order to transform these undead skeletons, a lot of soul energy was extracted from him. "My soul!"
The Lich howled silently in his heart.
"You did a great job."
"Tsk, tsk, it's a pity that the legendary storm giant turned into powder, otherwise I would have to pull him up to work for me."
Cassius sighed with some pity.
Randetta stored all his power in the "Eye of the Storm King" during his lifetime. Once the equipment was taken away, the body would turn into powder due to loss of power.
However, the storm giant elder thousands of years ago probably did not expect that such a move would save him and avoid the tragic fate of being pulled up from the grave to work.
Oreste suddenly felt frightened when he heard Cassius's words.
Transform a legendary storm giant!
God knows how your soul power will be drained! Fortunately, it didn't leave a whole body behind!
The Lich secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Cassius looked at the skeletal dragons and snakes with a rather happy expression.
These skeletal dragon snakes are of great use. Not only are they excellent in immediate combat, they can also undertake tasks such as mining and transporting luggage - they are an important foundation for him to conquer the Dark Territory.
These undead skeletons cannot appear during the day, but there is never daylight in the Underdark.
"Marquis Hart."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cassius stretched out his claws and waved lightly, then pulled out a bone whip from the tail tip of the skeleton dragon snake and threw it in front of the corpse demon.
"I grant you control of these skeletal dragons and snakes. They will become your undead army and conquer the Underdark for the Empire."
"Those drow elves have been very dishonest recently."
"Thank you for your gift!"
Hart quickly knelt down and caught it respectfully, his bloodless face full of ecstasy and ambition.
You must know that in addition to obeying their masters, the hearts of creatures like zombies are filled with hatred for the living and a desire for killing, and war is undoubtedly a good way.
"Go ahead, I've arranged everything in advance."
Cassius casually opened a portal leading to Luckman Castle and Dusk Garden.
There is a portal leading to Dragon Shadow City. This city that once belonged to Mortyfer has been completely occupied by him, but it is still a scorched ruins with only some troops from the empire stationed there.
In addition to Hart, several generals from the Imperial Military Department were sent there, and there were even many players who had fully planned for the war.
There are not many unified countries in the Underdark. Most of them exist in the form of city-states, families, and villages. Various races and forces are intertwined, which also allows the empire to expand in the underground world.
However, the empire does not want to completely occupy this chaotic place. It just wants to establish a foothold here, establish some outposts, and have a reliable underground position.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"I will show the bastards of the Underdark the power of the Empire."
Hart held the bone whip and controlled the dragon and snake bones to enter the portal. The heart that had stopped beating and was riddled with holes was particularly surging.
Being able to resurrect from death is already an unexpected blessing, not to mention being able to control a powerful army and conquer everywhere?
"He wants to conquer the Underdark?"
"This is a perfect opportunity! There are countless innocent souls on the battlefield, and I can replenish my lost soul power!"
Orest thought in his heart.
So, he moved closer, with a flattering look on his rotten head: "Master, I can also go to the Dark Territory with Marquis Hart, where I will be loyal to the empire. I think my ability to cast necromancy is Can play a role in the Empire's conquest of the Underdark"
"Orest, this is just the first batch of undead you want to transform."
"What's more, sending you to the Dark Territory would be overkill. I have other arrangements for you."
"It's the master."
The Lich's smile suddenly froze, and his withered hand holding the skeletal scepter trembled slightly.
Things seemed to be getting worse than he expected.
And what does "first batch" mean?
Does he want to transform more undead creatures that are not his own?
Although the Lich does not have many emotions of the living, for the first time, the emotion called "tired" appeared in the will-o'-the-wisps in Orest's empty eyes. (End of chapter)
