Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

The number of Bronze-Level Artificial Undead has already reached the limit of what he can control now.

Even his Personal Tomb space is filled with Artificial Undead.

If there were any more, it would dilute the Death Energy concentration in the tomb space, slowing the strengthening of this Artificial Undead Army.

That would be somewhat counterproductive.

Of course, apart from the significant increase in the number of Undead, Fang Zhou's Spirit Main Attribute has naturally reached 5000 points, breaking through to the Silver Middle Rank.

It took just over six months to advance from Silver Lower Rank to Silver Upper Rank, a speed almost unreachable for other human professionals.

But it's not the same for Fang Zhou.

After all, his talent as an Undead Mage was very good, and the Spirit Attribute growth obtained from Meditation is considered top-notch among professionals of the same level.

Not to mention his biggest cheat: the constant four-dimensional attribute feedback given by the Blood Spirit Lord Clone.

Over the past six months, especially after the Blood Spirit Lord Clone broke through to Silver Upper Rank and arrived at the City of Strife, most of the time was spent soaking in the Death Energy Prism.

The clone's attributes quickly improved, reaching the Silver Limit, which greatly assisted the main body's Meditation cultivation.

Moreover, the brutal war with the Beastmen during this period, especially the final great wilderness battle, greatly honed Fang Zhou's will.

This also paved the way for his attribute growth and realm enhancement.

What makes Fang Zhou feel doubly blessed is that just on the second day after breaking through to Silver Middle Rank, the military promotion order from Beast Fighting City was brought to him by Instructor Shen Zhongyun.

"Based on Fang Zhou's outstanding contributions on the Beast Fighting City battlefield over the past six months, Fang Zhou's rank is promoted from Major to Lieutenant Colonel."

Completing a military rank promotion, especially a school-level rank promotion, in just half a year is quite rare on the Beast Fighting City battlefield.

However, with Fang Zhou's glorious battle records, there weren't many objections.

In the six-month-long war with the Beastmen, he not only commanded the defense at Tiger Suppression Fortress, safeguarding the logistical lifeline, which greatly ensured the effectiveness of Beast Fighting City's defense and counterattack against the Beastmen's offensive in the unfavorable early situation.

Especially in the final stage of the wilderness field battle, he fully utilized the advantages of an Undead Mage, at the heavy cost of losing more than half of Silver-Level Undead Creatures and near-total annihilation of Black Iron and Bronze-Level Undead Creatures, killing nearly 40 Beastman Silver-Level Powerhouses and rescuing over 10 of our own Silver Powerhouses.

Golden Tier powerhouses aside, Fang Zhou's achievements among Silver-level professionals are unrivaled.

His powerful strength and significant military achievements befit the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

.......

A few days after the military rank promotion, Fang Zhou received a special transfer order.

The content was what Major General Ning Danxin mentioned before leaving, transferring him to serve in the Dawn Legion on the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield.

However, the time was set for three months later.

Fang Zhou looked at the special transfer order, his eyes showing contemplation.

The Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield is the area with the greatest intensity of war against Abyssal Demon powers directly on Blue Star's homeland.

It's not like the small skirmishes here on the Beast Fighting City battlefield, where a battle involving over 100,000 troops happens once every few years.

On the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield, battles where the combined forces of human and demon exceed 100,000 troops are considered small skirmishes.

Human and demon forces are intertwined like jagged teeth, frequently encountering each other's reconnaissance squads, calling for mutual support, which often leads to battles involving more than 100,000 troops.

In such a large-scale battlefield, organizing a battle with advantageous forces requires manpower and resources that Fang Zhou could not imagine, and the preparation for campaigns would naturally be very lengthy.

Therefore, the Dawn Legion gave Fang Zhou three months to prepare.

During this time, as the Beast Fighting Legion pursued the retreating enemies in the Northern Wilderness, the war atmosphere brought by the Beastman frenzy gradually relaxed.

Fang Zhou, as a Silver Middle Rank Undead Mage lieutenant colonel, counts as a mid-to-upper-level officer in the entire Beast Fighting Legion.

Thus, he was assigned to guard the front-line fortress, but routine patrol tasks didn't really require his presence.

Except for attending roll call at the barracks each morning and evening and handling some emergencies, he had a lot of free time for cultivation.

This allowed Fang Zhou to enjoy a period of leisure at the front-line fortress.

Recently, through ongoing magic communications, Fang Zhou also gained a certain understanding of the plans Beast Fighting City is currently announcing.

After the Beast Fighting City human forces completely defeated the alliance army of Beastman tribes who threw everything into warfare here on the desert battlefield, they plan to take advantage of the situation and build a new city here.

This is definitely a golden opportunity.

Although the most fertile land in the Northern Wilderness has already been occupied by Beast Fighting City, there are still some areas further north that can be developed.

This area was originally the middle ground between humans and Beastman tribes, mixed with various indigenous races residing here, with occasionally raiding parties from the Beastmen causing disturbances.

Therefore, previously, for Beast Fighting City, spending a large amount of manpower, materials, and finances on developing northwards was inefficient and low return.

But now it's different.

Most of the indigenous races in the middle zone have been wiped out by the Beastmen.

The primary culprits causing the desert upheaval, the Beastman tribes, have been driven by humans to the polar north.

This creates excellent external conditions for the development of Desert City.

Joining in, it might be difficult initially, but in the long run, it is definitely a treasure.

Consider those who own houses and land in Beast Fighting City, those landlords, during the early establishment of Beast Fighting City, they might have merely been Apprentice Tier ordinary soldiers or even construction workers.

The land they possessed at the time was just a small piece of wasteland outside the city where they built temporary homes.

Now, years have passed with Beast Fighting City's development, and those land parcels have become immensely valuable.

In the new city, Desert City, people surely already have experience, and many are likely targeting real estate.

Moreover, there are forests and farms to consider.

Factory buildings for equipment production or enchantment workshops, Fang Zhou doesn't have the capability to invest in those for now.

But forests are something worth considering.

Previously, Fang Zhou helped Shen Zhongyun and other forest owners from Beast Fighting City repair their Guard Arrays, gaining comprehensive and systematic understanding of the operational model and profit income of forest management.

Outside Beast Fighting City, there were many Spirit Medicine forests, like hens laying golden eggs.

The land outside Beast Fighting City already has owners.

Although the recent Beastmen invasion destroyed many forests, causing bankruptcy for many owners.

But the original land contracts remain very expensive, even if the original owner goes bankrupt, it's not something Fang Zhou can consider taking over.

But the desert is different.

Hundreds of kilometers now are wasteland.

Only needing some money to buy land and then establish an array, the forest can be created.

Thinking about this, Fang Zhou considers accumulating a large sum of Magic Stones and then going to the desert to stake out his claim, buying a large tract of land to become a landowner.

The Northern Wilderness, which has just undergone such a large war, both the Beastmen and humans are resting and recovering, healing their wounds, entering a quiet period.

As for the indigenous tribes in the desert, those scattered Otherworld races have already been cleared by the Beastmen.

There was just a great battle, with many retreating soldiers and pursuing forces, which can be said to have swept the area clean.

Even if there is danger, Fang Zhou is not too worried now.

In terms of high-end combat power alone, the firepower he possesses now, though lacking Gold-Level top combat power, is equivalent to that of an ordinary ten-thousand-person battle group.

A Silver Middle Rank Undead Mage of powerful skills and abundant Mana, plus 100 Silver-Level Undead Creatures.

And over five hundred Bronze Tier Artificial Undead.

This allows him to navigate the desolate, fragile-social desert with dominance.
