The Valley of the Dead.
Tie Muzhen and Wang Jian stood on the cliff above the valley entrance, their gazes fixed on the direction of the necromancer camp.
Finally, dust swirled in the distance, and Hesar returned with 500,000 elite wolf cavalry.
Tie Muzhen and Wang Jian leaped down from the valley entrance and waved at Hesar.
The direwolf beneath Hesar’s mount let out a sky-piercing howl. Upon hearing it, all the wolf cavalry entered the valley without hesitation.
"Brother, I've brought the men back without a single casualty. We eliminated about three million skeletal knights and a million skeletal soldiers, but compared to the sheer number of the skeleton horde, it's negligible."
Tie Muzhen froze and quickly asked, "Skeletal knights? What are those?"
Hesar handed a tablet to Tie Muzhen.
"Let's not wait here. Let's go and ambush on the cliff face and watch," Wang Jian said to the Tie Muzhen brothers.
The three of them, along with a wolf, took to the air and entered a pre-dug soldier hiding cave in the cliff face.
Tie Muzhen opened the tablet and watched the recorded video with Wang Jian.
"These necromancers are desperately summoning skeletal soldiers right now. Judging by their efforts, by the time we leave, they'll have summoned nearly 500 million skeletal soldiers. I have no idea what these madmen are planning."
Wang Jian was taken aback and then exclaimed in surprise:
"500 million? And adding the necromancers' 200 million elite troops, our commander only has about 15 million in total. Even if we transfer troops from Patriarch Wu Ding, it's only around 20 million. This war will be difficult to fight."
Since ancient times, Wang Jian's military strategy has been "steady," and he never fought battles without certainty.
He advanced cautiously, using a defensive posture to counter aggression, and a reactive approach, which was completely opposite to the swift, decisive, and fierce style of General Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an.
This was precisely why Lin Zhan had left Bai Qi at the border between Huaxia and Siberia to hold the line.
If there were any changes in the Siberian spatial rift, the Siberian Group Army would suffer heavy losses.
Following Bai Qi's style, he would disregard the Siberian Special Administrative Region government's objections and directly take over the defense of the Siberian spatial rift, eliminating any invading Ten Thousand Races army in the shortest possible time.
However, this battle in the necromancer plane had many variables.
It was possible that they would only fight the necromancer race, or the conflict might escalate, leading to a direct confrontation with the entire undead race.
Genghis Khan and the two kings of the Liu family, Liu Che and Liu Xiu, were both adept at offense and specialized in exterminating entire races.
Therefore, an experienced, cautious, and steady general was needed to ensure victory and prevent unforeseen circumstances.
This was why Lin Zhan had swapped Wang Jian's Second Group Army for Meng Tian's Third Group Army.
As for the Black Bird Army of the Great Shang, they were a group of desperate madmen. With them around, Lin Zhan had the means to fight the undead race to the death.
If pushed to the limit, the young master Lin would directly summon the Lin family's ancestors and lead the Black Bird Army to systematically slaughter all the races of the undead, plane by plane.
Let these unfortunate beings of the Ten Thousand Races see clearly who the true professional bandits were.
