Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

As it turns out, Fang Zhou launches his attack during the Vampire Lord’s crucial time of digesting his spoils, a golden period when his Undead Army is at its weakest. Initiating an attack was an incredibly wise decision.

This time, Fang Zhou is determined to end it all through a war, establishing the Tomb Territory’s absolute dominance in the Wasteland of Strife.

.........

Both attacking and defending sides have set up their battle arrays along the riverbed that marks the boundary of the territory.

Strategically, even though Fang Zhou’s Tomb Territory is the attacking side, tactically, the Tombyard Undead Army has become the defensive side leveraging the long-range attack capabilities of war machines like the Skeleton Catapult and Resentful Soul Cannon Platform.

It must be said, these ultra-long-range war machines are too overpowering in the environment of the Wasteland of Strife.

With the rigid tactical thinking of those Undead Lords, warfare is still stuck in two armies facing off and engaging in melee combat.

Managing to pull off some flanking maneuvers would already be quite difficult.

Especially making a large number of war machines to perform ultra-long-range attacks like Fang Zhou, gaining initiative in battle.

Of course, with the wisdom level of these Undead Lords, after fighting with the Tombyard Undead, they would naturally realize the powerful might and practical tactical value of war machines.

If they could survive battles with the Tombyard Undead Army and return to their own territories, they would surely replicate Fang Zhou’s war machines.

However, unfortunately, up till now, all Undead Lords who have encountered Fang Zhou and his Tombyard Undead Army have been defeated and devoured by him. There’s been no opportunity to recreate and manufacture Undead War Machines.

Boom boom boom!

Fang Zhou’s Tomb Army, with iron-grey as its base tone, has its Corpse Archers with taut bowstrings, and Skeleton War Chariots poised in the rear of the array.

The Vampire Lord’s army, on the other hand, is clad in dark red and purplish-black robes and armor, with the shrieks of thousands of Vampire Guards echoing in the cold wind.

Fang Zhou stands on an altar built of bones, with the Soul Silence War Drum being pounded by several Bronze Upper Corpse Warriors behind him.

The drumbeats tremble the earth, casting an invisible enhancement over the entire army.

Tidamia stands on Fang Zhou’s left, his ghostly green eyes scanning the battlefield, touching the ground lightly with his fingers.

The dark green light of the Corrosive Poison Totem and Revival Altar successively lights up behind the line.

"Let these rotten corpses have a taste of blood!"

The Vampire Lord’s shriek pierces the clouds.

He swings a warhammer inlaid with Blood Diamonds, and fifty thousand Black Iron-grade Skeletons and Zombies swarm forward like a tide.

These low-tier Undead do not charge directly but divide into three pincer divisions.

The left wing targets Fang Zhou’s flank, the right wing attempts to flank the Revival Altar from behind, while the middle force attacks the center of the Tombyard Undead Army with a dense formation.

Tidamia’s response is quite simple. That is to form the entire Tombyard Undead Army into an Iron Wall Formation with extremely strong defense power.

The Iron Wall Defense Array is not a simple shield wall but a three-layer nested array composed of Centurions, Chiliarchs, and Captains of the Spiritual Remains.

The outer layer consists of hundreds of thousands of Corpse Warriors, holding giant Bone Shields to form a Scale Armor Formation.

The middle layer consists of Bronze Upper Corpse Knights and Corpse Warriors forming a mobile Arrow Rain.

The inner layer consists of hundreds of Silver Lower Rank Spiritual Remains Undead, floating at the array’s core, ready to eliminate any breachers.

In the Undead Realm, battles are always fierce and bloody, never stopping until one side is utterly wiped out.

The Skeleton Sea under the Vampire Lord’s command continues to crumble under the bombardment from Skeleton Catapults and Resentful Soul Cannon Platforms, but still, a large number of Undead break through the outer defenses.

Seeing this, the Vampire Lord laughs, "These rotten bones can’t stop my army!"

He orders his Silver-level elite Resentful Spirits to form a Blood Mist Barrier, attempting to nourish the breachers with blood.

However, the "Scale Armor" of the Iron Wall Formation suddenly flips, revealing Serrated Bone Blades on the inside, shredding the infiltrators to pieces.

The bone horses of the Corpse Knights trample the ground, revealing the pre-buried Resentful Soul Cannon Platforms, with ghostly blue fireballs tearing through the blood mist.

War sabers of the inner-layer Spiritual Remains Undead slash through space, dragging the Resentful Spirits attempting to absorb life energy into the Soul Abyss.

Not only did the Iron Wall Defense Array that Tidamia set up remain unharmed, but all enemy Undead that penetrated the defensive line were slaughtered entirely, leaving bones all over the ground.

When the Vampire Lord’s army falls into chaos, dozens of Skeleton War Chariots suddenly charge out from both sides of the array.

These war machines, driven by bronze frames with wheels inlaid with Corrosive Poison Crystals, instantly sprout toxic vines on the ground they roll over.

Skeleton War Chariots charge back and forth within the battle array, even the Iron-Arm Zombies, known for their defensive prowess, are no match, like mantises trying to stop a chariot.

Not to mention, Skeleton Catapults and Resentful Soul Cannon Platforms behind the Tombyard Undead are continuously bombarding.

With each bombardment on the Vampire Lord’s Undead Army, at least several dozens or hundreds of low-level Undead meet their death.

At this moment, the Vampire Lord finally realizes the power of the Tombyard Undead War Machines, especially loathing the Corrosive Poison Totem deeply.

Every time his Vampires absorb enemy life energy, they are countered by the poison.

The dark green light of the Corrosive Poison Totem surges, colliding with the Vampire’s flesh-splitting energy, creating a purple Poison Cloud enveloping the battlefield.

After a nearly half-hour of continued brutal fighting, Fang Zhou’s over 500,000 Tombyard Undead suffered a loss of fewer than 50,000, whereas the Vampire Lord’s Undead Army had almost 200,000 casualties.
