Galvin unleashed his Monarch-level aura, instantly sending Samson flying. Earl and Boreas quickly caught Samson, glaring at Galvin with hostility.

“Know your place. You should be grateful there are so many Lords watching; otherwise, today would be your last.”

Galvin was a Monarch-level!

The Elemental Alliance was no match for Monarch-level strength.

Everyone could only watch in anger as Galvin continued to squeeze Ivy’s breast, while Ivy remained unresponsive.

Galvin was right; the Elemental Alliance was too weak. They had been powerless against the Starfallen Empire multiple times, and perhaps this was Ivy’s own choice.

Galvin led Ivy away, leaving the remaining four standing there with mixed emotions.

Samson silently returned to his castle, unable to understand why things had turned out this way.

He could tolerate Ivy hoarding resources and even forgive her for selling information, but her departure had completely shaken the trust among the others.

As for the other three, they each had their own thoughts. This time, no one discussed anything with each other.

Galvin, pretending to be a gentleman, introduced Ivy, the key contributor, to the other Lords.

Ivy revealed all the information she knew.

“The undead Lord is a woman?”

A scar-faced Lord licked his lips lecherously, already excited.

“How does she compare to our Justice Alliance leader?”

Another Lord jeered. These Lords had been suppressing their desires in this world for so long that they had become twisted.

The Justice Alliance leader, of course, referred to Raphaela. Raphaela hadn’t revealed her troops, as angels were a sensitive race. With so many people around, she had to be cautious. The others only knew that Raphaela was a powerful Lord, but they had no idea what troops she commanded.

“Different aura, but equally stunning,” Ivy replied expressionlessly, playing along with these disgusting people. After all, she wouldn’t see them again after this.

Galvin was also getting excited. He couldn’t wait to start the siege on Alex.

Raphaela, seeing the ugly faces of these Lords, remained expressionless. Her goal was simply to kill the undead Lord. She was more interested in Alex’s ability to summon undead from corpses.

The information Ivy provided was crucial. They couldn’t blindly pursue troop numbers, as that would only increase Alex’s forces.

The other Lords, led by Galvin, were discussing strategies. Their goal was to kill Alex, but ideally, they wanted to capture her alive. The Lords were all excited and confident, already fantasizing about what they would do after capturing Alex.

The Justice Alliance, led by Raphaela, formed a separate group. They disdained the behavior of the other Lords. The quickest and most effective way to kill Alex was to destroy her castle, without wasting troops fighting the undead.

“Grom, you stay here and guard the castle. The rest of you, come with me to find and destroy the undead Lord’s castle,” Raphaela instructed her four allies. As the other Lords began deploying their troops, Raphaela’s group decided to go alone, not revealing their troops.

With Galvin and the other Lords fighting the undead at the front, they would take the opportunity to locate Alex’s castle.

Raphaela’s goal was clear: kill Alex and leave immediately, without getting entangled with the others.

By 5:00 AM, all the Lords had gathered their troops. Knowing Alex could summon undead from corpses, they only deployed Commanding-level troops and above, totaling around 10,000 Commanding-level troops and 10 Monarch-level troops.

For the Lords, this was already a formidable force. Many second-tier Lords marveled at the strength of the first-tier Lords.

The troops were diverse, including towering stone giants and beasts, flying light spirits and exotic birds, and strange races moving through shadows. There were even humans and orcs.

Galvin was frustrated by the Justice Alliance’s refusal to deploy troops, but he didn’t dare say anything. After all, all five of them were Monarch-level, and the combined strength of the eighty-five Lords might not be enough to defeat them.

“Iago, you stay and guard the castle, and keep an eye on Miss Ivy. Her former allies might do something drastic,” Galvin instructed his trusted aide. He didn’t trust anyone else; these Lords needed to be watched, so the person guarding the castle couldn’t be weak.

Each alliance chose one person to guard their castle, totaling eighteen people. They were still allies on the surface, wary of the Elemental Alliance and any potential dangers.

Ivy didn’t follow the Lords. She only pointed Galvin and the others in the right direction. Now alone, she didn’t trust anyone to guard her castle.

“Everyone, let’s move out and head to the undead Lord’s alliance!”

Although it was still a bit before dawn, Galvin noticed that Alex had created an alliance, meaning she could escape at any time. No one wanted to miss this perfect opportunity, so they set off immediately.

Samson, standing at his castle window, watched the Lords heading towards the swamp. He finally decided to send a message to Alex.

If Samson had hoped for Alex to lose before, now he hoped she could kill all these Lords.

Galvin led the Lords and over 10,000 Commanding-level troops towards the eastern swamp. The troops spread out, forming a large encirclement to prevent Alex from escaping.

Raphaela and her four allies followed, but when they reached the edge of the swamp, they chose to circle around instead of entering.

What they didn’t know was that Alex had already led her undead army to wait in the swamp.

Beside Alex was Satan, hands in his pockets, along with all his troops.

Satan found defending the castle boring, so Lilith stayed behind to ambush. To avoid exposing Lilith, her troops were hidden inside the castle, waiting for the right moment.

If Alex and Satan couldn’t handle the enemy, the fallen angels would support them. Otherwise, they would remain hidden, aiming to kill as many Lords as possible.

In the distance, the sound of marching could be heard. Crows scattered from the dead trees, and Alex and Satan looked ahead.

“They’re here!”

[Night retreats, dawn arrives]

A ray of light pierced the darkness, and Eldoria welcomed the dawn.

All the undead troops went on high alert.

The ground shook as a massive stone giant rose from the undead army, attacking the surrounding undead.

Various airborne troops also attacked the undead army, engaging in aerial combat.

From discovery to attack took only a few seconds, showing the enemy’s troops were well-trained.

In the sky, light spirits wielded holy light, which was highly effective against the undead. A single light blade could kill dozens of standard undead.

A white unicorn, its horn gathering golden lightning, created a no-man’s land within the undead army.

A shadowy figure emerged from the shadows behind the undead, spreading darkness and killing swathes of undead.

In just a moment of battle, Alex lost 1,000 undead.

The enemy troops continued to push into the undead army, aiming for Alex. Taking advantage of this, the undead began to encircle the advancing enemy troops.

As the enemy gradually became surrounded, 2,000 elite undead suddenly counterattacked. Light spirits in the sky and unicorns on the ground were instantly targeted by several Ethereal Wraiths’ soul attacks, killed by Commanding-level Bone Dragons and Skeletal Demons.

Their bodies decayed and began to transform into undead, causing the Lords to break out in cold sweats.

10,000 Commanding-level elite troops against 60,000 undead should have been a massacre, but the sudden counterattack by Commanding-level undead killed several Commanding-level troops, turning them into undead and shifting the balance.

Galvin realized that if they couldn’t quickly defeat the undead, their numbers and strength would only grow stronger.

Over 10,000 bone dragons flew in the sky, raining fire down and turning the swamp into a sea of flames.

Stone giants, unafraid of fire, smashed bone dragons with their fists, but the dragons quickly reformed.

The other troops were not so fortunate. Without fire resistance, the flames burning all around them scorched their skin, and they quickly perished. Meanwhile, the falling corpses of Bone Dragons from the sky occasionally crushed a few smaller creatures.

The battle continued, with both the undead and the alliance forces suffering heavy losses.

But to the Lords’ despair, the undead’s numbers weren’t decreasing; they were increasing!

An orc struck down a death knight, but a massive gray magic circle appeared on the nearby kodo beast’s corpse.

A Commanding-level zombie titan emerged, crushing the orc underfoot. It then used Flame Body, spewing molten lava and killing a tauren with a single punch.

The zombie titan’s massive size made it impervious to attacks, and it could crush enemy stone giants with a single punch.

One by one, zombie titans rose from the magic circles, dominating the battlefield.

Satan realized his worries were unnecessary. The Commanding-level undead were as strong as any other race’s Commanding-level troops.

At that moment, a light spirit charged at a zombie titan, transforming into a beam of light and piercing the titan’s chest.

The zombie titan’s lava extinguished, its eyes dimmed, and it fell heavily to the ground.

Aside from soul attacks, holy light was the undead’s greatest weakness.

Several light spirits took on the task of dealing with the remaining zombie titans.

As the light spirits slaughtered the zombie titans, liches appeared before them, blocking their path.

The battlefield constantly shifted as troops countered and were countered.

As the battle continued, dead trees in the swamp fell and burned, and the ground’s water and mud turned into cracked earth from the heat.

The enemy’s Commanding-level troops outnumbered Alex’s Commanding-level undead five to one, but Alex believed this gap would soon be closed.

Satan’s demon followers also joined the battle, but the light spirits’ attacks were highly effective against them. Aside from the Commanding-level followers, the other followers were no different from ordinary undead, easily killed but able to revive.

The swamp became a chaotic battleground, with various abilities and magic wreaking havoc.

The enemy’s advance was successfully halted by the undead. Alex stood behind, looking at the Lords on the other side, not choosing to flee, as if taunting them.

Suddenly, a shadow behind Alex shifted, and a Lord with a dagger lunged at her back.

Satan grabbed the attacker’s arm, crushing it and causing the dagger to fall. He then grabbed the Lord’s neck and lifted him.

Crack—

Satan snapped his neck without hesitation. A Commanding-level assassin dared to launch a sneak attack? How naive.

At that moment, dozens of Lords emerged from the shadows of the dead trees, surrounding Alex and Satan.

They had used special means to sneak in.

Whoosh!

A throwing knife flew towards Alex, who easily dodged it. The knife transformed into a Lord, attacking Satan, who punched him away.

In an instant, the surrounding Lords all attacked Alex and Satan.

These Commanding-level Lords were fearless, thinking that a dozen of them together could kill a Monarch-level.

Satan was about to act when he sensed Alex’s aura and stopped.

Alex’s left eye glowed blue, and the surroundings turned dark. Dead trees transformed into undead, flames turned black, and the air filled with decay and poison.

Countless black spikes erupted from the ground, impaling the attacking Lords. Their weapons fell, and they writhed in pain, realizing the gap between their strength and Alex’s.

But it was too late. They couldn’t escape and watched their life force drain away, turning into skeletons and becoming undead.

Alex retracted her domain and looked at the battlefield ahead.

“You don’t seem like an undead; you seem more like a devil,” Satan said with a smile, complimenting Alex on his strength.

The Lords and their troops no longer held back, with all Monarch-levels unleashing their domains.

Ten Monarch-level Lords soared into the sky, attacking the battlefield. The real battle was just beginning.

Alex and Satan were momentarily stunned, their expressions strange. This Lord alliance was weaker than expected.

Seven undead and four demons released their domains, and eleven Monarch-levels charged at the enemy.

Galvin was dumbfounded. The undead Lord’s intel was wrong; she had seven Monarch-levels and that man helping her.

Alex’s strength far exceeded their expectations. Galvin couldn’t believe a Lord could have such power.

Galvin had seen Alex and Satan kill those ambushing Lords, proving they were both Monarch-level. Including them, the enemy had thirteen Monarch-levels.

“Damn it, where’s that Justice Alliance when you need them?!”
