Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Two months later, at the border of the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield.

A small convoy was struggling to move forward on the rugged road.

After resting for half a year following the Beastman frenzy, Fang Zhou finally received the official transfer order from the Dawn Legion.

After swiftly completing the handover procedures from the Beast Fighting Legion to the Dawn Legion, Fang Zhou, now a Silver Upper Rank and a Lieutenant Colonel, passed through consecutive teleportations to leave the Beast Fighting City space where he had been battling and training for nearly two years, returning to the Blue Star mainland.

However, upon reaching the border between the Longxia Federation and the Calamity Sun Demon Country, due to the chaotic battlefield energy and occasional legendary Crown-level strongmen from both sides engaging in remote battles, many high-tech methods usable on the Blue Star mainland failed.

This forced Fang Zhou to abandon the most convenient troop transport vehicles and teleportation arrays, proceeding on foot towards the frontline.

After reporting to the rear headquarters, Fang Zhou was assigned to the first division of the Dawn Legion under Major General Ning Danxin’s prior arrangements.

In the Longxia Federation army’s structure, the most basic combat unit is a squad of 10 people.

Next is a platoon of 100 people, and a battalion of 1000 people.

A battle group of 10,000 people, and a combat division of 100,000 people.

The largest formation, like the Dawn Legion and Beast Fighting Legion, is the legion formation, consisting of several combat divisions.

Ning Danxin, as a Glory Champion Level Major General, with strong combat power and rich command experience, was appointed as the commander of the first division of the Dawn Legion.

Under her direct arrangement, Fang Zhou, as a lieutenant colonel, was naturally absorbed into the first division.

With manpower tight at the front, there was no red tape. After completing the procedures, Fang Zhou was escorted by a squad of recovering soldiers to the frontlines.

As a newcomer, Fang Zhou kept a low profile and did not boast about his glorious past achievements to the soldiers escorting him.

However, just his youthful face and lieutenant colonel rank were enough to earn respect from these veteran soldiers on the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield.

In the Longxia Federation army, there might be a few sons of officials who rely on connections to obtain ranks they do not deserve, but such silver-plated wax gun head idiots would not dare to find death on the highest intensity battlefield on the Blue Star mainland like the Calamity Sun Demon Country.

When Fang Zhou waved the Magic Staff and summoned several Silver-rank Blood Spirit Warriors to serve as guards, the gaze of these veterans shifted from admiration to shock.

With this Undead Mage’s formidable strength, it was hardly their place, as ordinary soldiers, to act as guards, more like guides at best.

But what is the background of this Lieutenant Colonel Fang Zhou?

When did the Longxia Federation military produce such a young prodigy?

Although Fang Zhou had made a name for himself on the Beast Fighting City battlefield, he remained relatively unknown on the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield.

Perhaps due to Ning Danxin, the high-level officials of the Dawn Legion had understood Fang Zhou’s achievements and strength as an Undead Mage.

However, for the mid and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers of the Dawn Legion, the name Fang Zhou and his represented strength were still unfamiliar.

.........

The Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield is very large, with a tangled and interwoven frontline and complex terrain.

Marching from the rear to the front lines requires traversing over a thousand kilometers.

Fang Zhou followed this squad along the way, not appearing too aloof, and also gained a deeper understanding of the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield from these veterans.

The main enemies on the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield are the Abyss Demon Descendants.

They are transformed from extremely evil Demon Worshipers through an Abyssal Desecration Ceremony and possess formidable strength.

The outstanding ones are even on par with Pure-blooded Demon nobility.

After a two-day forced march, Fang Zhou and his group got increasingly close to the frontline.

At noon that day, as Fang Zhou was resting with closed eyes in his carriage, the advancing carriage suddenly came to an abrupt stop with a "squeak."

Fang Zhou furrowed his brows slightly, indicating there was a situation ahead.

The squad leader of this escorting team, Bronze Upper Rank Warrior Xu Feng, Captain, bowed and reported, "Lieutenant Colonel Fang Zhou, we’ve discovered enemies ahead.

Just now, while scouting ahead, we found bloodstains on the military road that were not yet covered.

Following the scent of blood, we searched the vicinity and found a temporary dug-out pit, containing the corpses of 7 of our scouts!"

Fang Zhou showed little reaction, but another soldier was shocked, exclaiming, "What!!!

We’re nearly a hundred miles from both battlefields, how can enemies appear here!"

"But they really did appear. We cannot yet determine the identity of the opponents.

The scouts were skilled individuals. Those who could silently kill them must not be easy to deal with!"

Just then, Fang Zhou raised his eyebrows and spoke in a deep voice, "Lieutenant Xu, you’re right. They’re not so easy to deal with."

"Human scum, your insight isn’t bad.

In that case, I’ll make your death even more painful later on."

An unfamiliar, mocking voice suddenly sounded in front of them.

Xu Feng’s expression changed drastically. Following the voice, he saw five Abyss Demon Descendants walk out in a line from the slope by the side of the military road, their expressions mocking.

Fang Zhou secretly activated Soul Eagle Eye, lifted his gaze, and slightly relaxed.

All five Demon Descendants were Shadow Demon Descendants skilled in lurking and assassination, and they were all Silver Lower Rank.

For Fang Zhou, they were just small fry.

However, without Fang Zhou, this escorting squad comprised of Black Iron and Bronze rank professionals might not have had a chance of survival.

"Ah, the demon descendant is holding Zhao Gang’s short sword!"
