Chapter 1176
"Invitations?"
"Have you all been ready for a long time?" Yun Xi curiously looked at the person who claimed to be the highest military leader of the Underground Cemetery, Kingdom"s Shield.
If what Pa.s.sed Princess said is correct, the Guardians of the fifth and sixth levels have yet to be completed, and as the Guardian of the fourth level of the Underground Cemetery, she is indeed everyone"s leader.
The ident.i.ty of being the number one knight in the continent during his lifetime, as well as his strategic vision, also makes him unparalleled in the entire Underground Cemetery.
"Yes, it is an invitation that cannot be refused." Kingdom"s Shield shrugged and told Yun Xi that this invitation is one that no country can reject.
Because it is an invitation sent by the Opera House Phantom.
.........
"Wuwuwuwu!"
"Gagagagaga!"
The boundless and unimaginable vast army is advancing.
There are more soldiers than the entire Leviathan Empire"s permanent army combined.
The level is a true divine era level, even in the later stages of the divine era, there has never been such a large army gathered together.
Invading with a large army is not as simple as just a.s.sembling troops. It requires more than ten times the logistical support in manpower and resources for a legion of over ten thousand to march.
Having a legion of over one million means that the rear requires logistical support from ten million humans, which is a huge burden for any country as it involves giving up production.
In history, there have been a few legions mobilized by humans claiming to have a million soldiers. But the truth is, boasting aside, having fifty thousand troops available for combat is already very impressive.
However, the army advancing on the Leviathan Empire"s territory at this moment is a true million-strong legion.
Because they don"t need logistical support.
They don"t need food.
They don"t need water.
The merchant didn"t follow the group.
They moved forward silently, and the vast white landscape gave them chills.
With bones in a dreadful color and cold souls, this is a million-strong army that only exists in mythological stories, composed of the deceased.
The main force of the Underground Cemetery"s army, led by the Opera House Phantom, the Undead Army, emerged from their eternal rest after the end of the divine era and the war with the dragons, proclaiming the return of the King of Undead to the entire world.
The million-strong Undead Army is mostly made up of human skeletons, with about one-fifth consisting of corpses belonging to the Leviathan faction creatures.
Among them, there are over a hundred elite Death Knights, around sixty liches serving as spellcasters, and seventeen skeletal dragons flying above the Undead Army.
This is not the entirety of the forces of the Underground Cemetery, nor is it the maximum the Opera House Phantom can command. It is probably only about one-fifth of the forces from the divine era war, with many powerful undead who have been modified not yet dispatched.
Despite this, the intimidating power of this army has been enough to cause panic even in the Leviathan Empire. The knights, who possess strong wills, have chosen to retreat and defend for the first time, as no one dares to engage in active combat.
Even the mighty magic armor can only take a step back when facing this million-strong army.
If it"s just the regular Skeleton Soldiers, it"s not too bad, but this Undead Army also has powerful troops like Death Knights, liches, and skeletal dragons.
In the initial battle, the magic armor once took the initiative and defeated over a thousand Skeleton Soldiers. But under the liches" reanimation magic, these Skeleton Soldiers, turned into bone sc.r.a.ps, quickly stood up again.
As for the few magic armors that attacked, their fate was being caught by skeletal dragons descending from the sky and becoming trophies of the Underground Cemetery.
Emerging from the mountains, the Undead Army swiftly surrounded the capital of the Leviathan Empire, achieving complete strategic domination.
At this moment, Emperor Ludwig XII of the Leviathan Empire, the strongest military power in the continent, looked at the overwhelming Undead Army with a bitter gaze.
"Teacher, can we still win?"
"Impossible." This time, Imperial Sage Poincar gave a clear and decisive answer.
With the situation developing to this extent, even if the empire utilizes its ultimate measures, it can only eliminate the million-strong army before their eyes once.
The problem is, based on Poincar"s understanding of creatures like liches and skeletal dragons, even if they are reduced to ashes, they won"t be completely destroyed. They will quickly return from the Netherworld.
The King of Undead in the Underground Cemetery possesses such power that goes beyond life and death.
Otherwise, the dragon tribe wouldn"t have been unable to continue the fight, was it not because more and more enemies kept coming!
"Could it be that today is the day of the empire"s downfall?" Ludwig XII gnashed his teeth in frustration and started considering some organization that had approached him recently.
"No, the war has temporarily ended." Poincar shook his head, leaving Ludwig XII completely bewildered.
"They have come to negotiate." Poincar couldn"t explain to his disciple why he could come up with such an answer, after all, he himself was just a slightly braver monkey.
The same scene also occurred near the capitals of other countries.
Although not as terrifying in numbers as the legion surrounding the Leviathan Empire"s capital, it was still a formidable army that made these countries desperate.
In the divine era, humans overcame the dragon tribe, who were once superior, and the Undead Army became humanity"s enemy.
After completing the siege of the capital of all humankind, the previously silent sky above the Undead Army was filled with song.
That was a timid whisper, like giving oneself encouragement, it was a song that once made the dragon clan tremble and even want to run away.
"You are amazing."
"You are very talented."
"Just keep being like this, you are a good child."
"It"s okay, don"t be afraid. This is what you should do."
"You must have worked hard. It"s okay to cry when you feel like it."
"You are a lovely songstress, everyone"s favorite idol."
"You are loved by everyone, a one-of-a-kind treasure in the world."
The gentle melody echoed across the land, it was the whisper of the dead, it was a poem sung by the Opera House Phantom, expressing the beautiful songstress"s confusion and nostalgia for her life.
Then, the Death Knights start charging.
The liches lift their own staffs and lock onto their hidden treasures.
The skeletal dragons, soaring in the sky, emit a soul-shattering deathly roar as they dive towards the ground.
The strongest legion of the divine era goes into battle!
Within a day, apart from the Sia Kingdom capital that is protected by magical barriers and specially guarded by the highest military leader of the Underground Cemetery, all other royal cities of different countries have been conquered.
Even the fully-equipped scientific defense system of the Leviathan Empire, armed to the teeth, only withstands for less than twelve hours against the charge of the Death Knights, the incantations of the liches, and the aerial strikes of the skeletal dragons.
By the time Yun Xi, who arrived a little late after negotiating with the Kingdom"s Shield, returns to the continent, the emblem of the Underground Cemetery has already been planted everywhere on the continent.
