Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

After that, the Beastman army launched an attack on a fortress on the Beast Fighting City’s frontline, but it was only a probing strike and did not develop into a full-scale offensive.

On the frontline resisting the Beastmen, Beast Fighting City had altogether built three medium-sized fortresses.

Compared to the Tiger Suppression Fortress where Fang Zhou was stationed, these three fortresses were not only built to higher specifications and had stronger Defense Power, but also garrisoned far more soldiers and Professionals.

The commanding officers of the garrisons were all Gold Tier Professionals.

These medium-sized fortresses were the true Stabilizing Needles of the Beast Fighting City frontline.

As long as these three fortresses were not uprooted, the Beastman army would have no way to attack Beast Fighting City.

However, although the Beastman army was blocked outside by the fortress cluster, they still split their forces, sending small elite detachments deep into the hinterland.

During this period, many Spirit Medicine Forests and Fierce Beast farms behind the fortresses suffered greatly.

The Defense forces in these places had, after Beast Fighting City’s conscription, declined sharply compared to before.

Although, on the eve of war, anything valuable had already been taken away by their owners, a lot of good stuff was still left on site.

For example, Spirit Medicine that had not yet reached harvest time, Low Tier Fierce Beasts—these were not cost-effective to take away, Beast Fighting City could not accommodate them, and there weren’t enough hands to do it.

Now all of it had been destroyed; the Beastmen raiding parties would never save money for humans—whatever they could carry, they took, and whatever they could not, they destroyed on the spot.

Some employees who had stayed behind in the forests and Fierce Beast farms, apart from the few clever enough to escape, were all brutally killed.

Even the medium-sized forest farm belonging to Lieutenant Colonel Shen Zhongyun, the one Fang Zhou had just repaired, was burned to the ground.

This caused Lieutenant Colonel Shen Zhongyun extremely heavy losses and left him raging with fury.

For a time, smoke rose all across the hinterland of Beast Fighting City, causing enormous economic damage to the city.

Even if they ultimately defeated the Beastmen, these economic losses would still drive many operators into bankruptcy.

It must be known that many forest farm operators and breeding farm operators had taken out loans to run their operations, and now everything had been completely ravaged by the Beastmen.

Of course, Beast Fighting City was not without countermeasures against these Beastmen who came to burn, kill, and plunder.

Beast Fighting City also dispatched elite small-unit forces to hunt down these Beastmen across the vast land.

Among them, the Guerrilla Battle Group was the largest force and was also the strongest mobile force of Beast Fighting City.

The entire Battle Group was divided into ten battalions, plus some forces directly under the Battle Group, such as reconnaissance companies, guard companies, etc., adding up to over ten thousand men.

In the Longxia military’s classification, the Guerrilla Battle Group belonged to the main combat units.

The lowest rank among their soldiers was Black Iron, and Centurions and other NCOs were all Bronze Tier Professionals.

Officers at Chiliarch and above all had to be Silver Tier Professionals to serve.

High level military commanders such as Centurions at the ten-thousand level were all Gold Tier Professionals.

They did not participate in the Defense of Beast Fighting City, but instead roamed outside as mobile forces.

When the enemy attacked the fortresses and strongholds, they could exert pressure from the enemy’s rear.

At the same time, they could also penetrate deep behind enemy lines, attacking their logistics supply lines and creating logistical pressure.

Recently, the Guerrilla Battle Group had also dispatched many elite forces, operating by company, to sweep and clear the Beastmen within the borders in a dragnet, and the overall results had been quite good.

...

Within the Wasteland of Strife, under the silent gaze of the Blood Moon, Fang Zhou’s Tomb Territory expanded ever further.

Since defeating the Silver Upper Rank Vampire Lord, the development of the Tomb Territory’s power had stepped onto a fast lane of frenzied advance.

Previously, under the guidance of the Undead Blood Moon Will, Fang Zhou had discovered the Blood Moon Observatory buried within the Resentful Spirit Tomb.

According to the Blood Moon’s guidance, he had already clarified his next objective.

That was to find the very center of the Wasteland of Strife, that City of Strife which bore a million Undead.

There lay the spatial passage leading to stronger Undead Fragments.

Of course, since the Undead Mage’s true body was currently serving on the Beast Fighting City battlefield and was about to face an unprecedented Beastman onslaught,

to prevent his focus from being scattered and causing unnecessary risks, Fang Zhou’s Blood Spirit Lord Clone had, during this period, ordered the Undead leaders under his command to maintain a cautious attitude while exploring the surroundings.

The Clone himself lay dormant within the Tomb Territory, analyzing the ever-growing authority of the Undead Blood Moon.

At present, the Unit Buildings of the Tomb Territory were divided into two major factions.

One type was the basic buildings that produced basic Undead Units.

For example, the Burial Ground that produced Skeleton Units, the Advanced Corpse Tomb that produced Zombie Units, and the Spirit Tomb that produced Ghost Units.

These Undead Unit Buildings had relatively single functions and consumed relatively few resources.

Correspondingly, the ordinary Undead Units they produced were far from satisfactory in combat power.

Fang Zhou produced them mostly for research projects or combat power comparisons.

The other type was the special buildings that produced Tomb-exclusive Undead Units.

From the Black Iron level Undead of the Corpse Series, which possessed two Talents: the Skeleton’s Skeletal Armament and the Zombie’s Corrosive Poison Incarnation.

The Bronze Tier Undead of the Spiritual Remains Series possessed three Talents: Skeletal Armament, Corrosive Poison Incarnation, and the Ghost’s Death Spirit Body.

Now the Silver Tier Undead of the Blood Spirit Series were even more overpowered, possessing four Talents: Skeletal Armament, Corrosive Poison Incarnation, Death Spirit Body, and the Vampire’s Flesh Splitting.

From Warrior, Archer, Knight, and Caster, to Assassin and Flying Soldier, and War Machines.
