Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Firstly, in terms of magic, these Silver Magic have significantly improved both in casting speed and intensity after being honed through battles.

Secondly, the greatest pillar of strength for the Undead Mage, the number and power of the undead creatures under his command, has also increased.

It can be said that among the defenses of Tiger Suppression Fortress, apart from those Black Iron Tier garrison troops, Fang Zhou’s soldiers are the most numerous.

And recently, the battles between the Beastmen and Beast Fighting City have also entered a tug-of-war phase.

After fighting for half a year, although the Beastmen haven’t captured Beast Fighting City, both sides have repeatedly contested the outer fortresses.

As the attackers, the Beastmen naturally suffered considerable casualties.

Meanwhile, the Beast Fighting City side, thanks to their well-trained troops and solid fortifications, had far fewer casualties.

Thus, the leadership of Beast Fighting City has consciously turned this not-so-intense battlefield into a training ground for the military units.

First, they practice on a low-intensity battlefield, then dispatch to higher-intensity battlefields to resist the forces of the Abyssal Demon.

This is also the common way of nurturing soldiers for the Blue Star Human Alliance.

However, although the logistical pressure on Beast Fighting City has significantly decreased, the economic losses caused by the war are immense.

Almost all the woodlands and farms outside the city were destroyed, wiping out at least two years of Beast Fighting City’s economic achievements.

Fang Zhou is now penniless, having invested all his assets into enhancing his own power and expanding the Artificial Undead Army.

He doesn’t own any industry within the space of Beast Fighting City, so he naturally doesn’t care.

However, officers like Lieutenant Colonel Shen Zhongyun with industries face heavy losses.

They can only hope that after winning the Beast Fighting City victory, they will receive adequate compensation from military merit rewards and spoils taken from the Beastmen.

...

A few more days passed.

Even though the Beastmen have no intention of attacking Tiger Suppression Fortress, Fang Zhou and the others still have to stay stationed here.

As the logistics and supply distribution center for several surrounding fortresses, they’ve been living comfortably here recently.

On this day, in the guest room of the Central Tower, Fang Zhou, Shen Zhongyun, and another Silver Tier Magic Professional from the logistics department, Chen Hongtao, were chatting and drinking tea.

Chen Hongtao set down his teacup, speaking mysteriously: "Old Shen, you won’t need to stay here for much longer."

"What do you mean?" Shen Zhongyun suddenly became interested.

Although he could earn significant military merit by staying at Tiger Suppression Fortress, he still preferred staying at Beast Fighting City, safely continuing his experiments.

"Beast Fighting City will soon launch a counterattack against the Beastmen. Once they push the Beastmen back, you naturally won’t need to be stationed here anymore," Chen Hongtao said with a smile.

"So soon, but the main forces of the Beastmen army haven’t suffered much damage.

Won’t launching a counterattack lead to heavy losses?" Shen Zhongyun was somewhat perplexed.

"You don’t know this.

Recently, the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield has been relatively stable, allowing us to deploy a living force from there to join Beast Fighting City in assisting the counterattack.

In terms of military comparison, we’re actually at an advantage now!"

Chen Hongtao, being from the logistics department, often needed to return to Beast Fighting City to escort supply teams.

So, he was somewhat informed about this big news happening at Beast Fighting City and could speak with precision.

"Calamity Sun Demon Country?" Now Shen Zhongyun was even more confused.

"Hasn’t the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield always been under heavy pressure?

I even heard recently that the Dawn Legion there was preparing for a massive offensive.

Now should be a time of intense effort, how are they able to spare forces to support us?"

As a middle-high tier officer of Beast Fighting City, Shen Zhongyun was somewhat knowledgeable about the Demon Country battlefield, the largest scale Human-Demon battlefield on Longxia Federation’s Blue Star homeland.

In his memory, it was always other battlefields channeling forces to the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield.

There had never been a situation where the Calamity Sun Demon Country forwarded forces to other battlefields.

"Our Longxia Federation has produced a new Legendary Crown, ’Heaven-Burning Fury’ Admiral Zhurong, don’t you remember?

Admiral Zhurong showed his prowess outside the World Barrier of our Beast Fighting City by annihilating three Demon Champions in one strike.

Lately, he has been stationed at the restless Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield.

A Legendary Crown tier caster can be worth a thousand troops."

Chen Hongtao chuckled and continued: "This time, three elite ten-thousand battle groups from Dawn Legion headed by a Glory Champion have been dispatched."

"What a grand gesture!" Shen Zhongyun couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Fang Zhou listened on the side, also amazed.

Counting this way, the Dawn Legion at Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield deployed forces reaching thirty thousand troops, indeed not to be underestimated.

Launching a counterattack would be a great advantage for Fang Zhou as well.

They’ve been stationed at Tiger Suppression Fortress for half a year, recently with no Beastmen’s attack, leading to a reduced harvest of Soul Power.

Furthermore, there hasn’t been much opportunity to make money here, even though logistics transitions here, they don’t get any substantial benefits.

.......

A few days passed again, and on this day, Fang Zhou, just finishing his meditation, received a message from Shen Zhongyun and rushed to the underground of the Central Tower.

"Uncle Shen, I’m here." Fang Zhou arrived underground and saw Shen Zhongyun standing in front of two upright alchemical vats.

"You mentioned previously, today is the day the Blood Spirit Warrior magic production ends.

These two Blood Spirit Warriors’ creation also has my contribution, so I want to see if our experiment has succeeded."

Shen Zhongyun smiled faintly and continued looking at the alchemical vats in front of them.

The Silver tier corpse modified by Flesh and Blood Alchemy, used to create Blood Spirit Warriors, whether they will successfully transform, no one knows.

Although some attributes of these corpses have reached Silver Tier, their actual tier isn’t Silver, so whether issues will occur here, it’s hard to say.

After a while, an abnormal movement came from one alchemical vat.

"Crack!"

The corpse in the alchemical vat successfully revived, and then the runes on the Rune Array etched on the ground started to glow.

The essence of flesh and various resources with Undead Attributes placed nearby began to tremble.

These materials were being engulfed as if by a whale, absorbed into the alchemical vat.

Fang Zhou watched this scene with some anticipation.

"Boom!"

The alchemical vat opened, Fang Zhou could see through the dense Death Energy, a Samurai wearing Skeleton Armor standing with his sword in the center.

The dense Undead Energy surrounded him, and in his skull, a faintly flickering Soul Fire trembled continuously.

Like a strong heartbeat, the trembling also drove the surrounding Undead Energy to surge.

"Boom!"

Finally accumulating to the extreme, the originally weak Soul Fire exploded, burning fiercely across the entire body from a faint spark.

The runes engraved on the armor activated successfully under the burn of Soul Fire, with terrifying might gradually strengthening.

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow, the revival of the Blood Spirit Warrior had reached a critical moment.

With the burning of Soul Fire, two circles of runes connected head-to-tail emerged from the Soul Fire, flying around the entire corpse.

The Soul Fire seemed to energize these flying runes, imbuing them with more power.

The flying runes continuously circled the armored corpse and shrank with their flight, eventually assimilating into the corpse’s chest cavity.

The corpse’s chest cavity burned like a giant fireball, whose glow, even with a thick armor covering it, couldn’t be isolated.

"Fang Zhou, what is this?" Shen Zhongyun asked, unable to hold back upon seeing the scene.

"This is the core that allows Blood Spirit Warriors to unleash Combat Professional Skills.

Without this core, the combat capabilities of Blood Spirit Warriors would be greatly diminished." Fang Zhou explained.

"A core? Could it be a Fierce Beast Crystal Core?"

"That’s right, the core is crafted from multiple Bronze Tier Fierce Beast Crystal Cores!" Fang Zhou nodded.

How extravagant!

Shen Zhongyun clicked his tongue in amazement, now understanding why.
