The shield outside the undead fortress was gradually dissipating, and the energy slowly gathered in the Essence Shard above the head. Then the Essence Shard began to sink and completely melted into the fortress and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a huge magic circle emerged from the ground, and the entire undead fortress began to vibrate violently.

The white bones on the outer wall slowly detached along the cracks and floated up. The six turrets began to be reorganized, and the teleportation array in the center was also re-spliced. The soul fire inside emitted a dazzling blue light.

Bang!

A huge bone claw stepped out from it, causing a huge shock.

The High King level birdman who was slaughtering the undead in the distance was instantly attracted, and his face was full of horror.

“What kind of creature is this?”

Whoosh!

A huge beam of light arrived in an instant, even bigger than the entire body of this birdman!

It quickly retracted its wings and made a spin in the air, dodging the beam attack, but some of the feathers on its wings were still blackened by the scorching beam.

Although it was not a serious problem, it was extremely humiliating for it.

It was not until this moment that the birdman saw the huge creature clearly.

It looked like a beast, but its body was only bones left, two groups of blue flames were burning in its huge eye sockets, and the huge fangs in its mouth even protruded out of its mouth.

Its body shape and appearance were more like a tiger without flesh, but there was a pair of wing-like existences on its back, which were covered with muzzles, which were combined from six turrets.

It was too big. Even if the Zombie Titan and the Bone Dragon stood in front of it, they were only a quarter of its size.

This birdman had never seen such a huge creature. Although the other party also exuded the aura of a King level, it gave him a feeling that it was impossible to defeat.

Facing such a behemoth, the suffocating pressure made it feel fear.

“Retreat!”

The birdman made a decisive decision and immediately planned to retreat, but when it looked behind it, it found that all its subordinates had died at some point!

Bang!

The undead behemoth jumped up, the earth trembled, and it flew up!

“Damn… This undead behemoth is too big, I can’t beat it at all, I will die here!”

Just as the birdman was thinking wildly, the huge claws that greeted him seemed to tear it to pieces. At this point, it had no choice but to fight the undead behemoth.

However, on the battlefield, morale was very important. If one was afraid, failure was a foregone conclusion.

The birdman gathered all its strength and met the huge undead behemoth with all its might.

In an instant, a dazzling white light erupted from the center of the two, and a terrifying air wave spread out. The surrounding trees were uprooted, cracks appeared in the ground and spread wildly outward, and even the surrounding undead were blown away by the terrifying momentum of the two, causing quite a few casualties.

…

Ten minutes later, the King level birdman was completely dead, and the entire forelimb of the undead behemoth had completely collapsed.

However, this was not a big deal to it. Soon, a little soul fire emerged from the corpses of the undead who died around, and merged into the undead behemoth.

The High King level birdman didn’t know until its death that its fear was infinitely magnified under the influence of the [Passive Skill] of the undead behemoth.

However, the undead behemoth was the product of the self-destruction of the undead fortress, and it did not exist forever.

Instead, it needed to absorb the soul fire remaining in the bodies of the dead undead to prolong its existence.

In other words, the undead behemoth was born for war.

Although this process was irreversible, the undead behemoth could feel the location of other undead fortresses.

As the undead behemoth flew into the sky, it took the remaining undead to the nearest undead fortress…

===

On the other side, on the border of the far north.

Xiao Hui and Ruby were standing on the undead fortress, looking ahead. The undead had received the news that the Gnolls clan was assembling an army and attacking this way.

That’s right, the eastern border of the Beastman Empire, which was connected to the far north, was the territory of these Gnolls.

As for conquering the Arctic Tigerfolk, the current Archalpha of the Beastman Empire had given full authority to the Gnolls.

Therefore, the Gnolls had already assembled most of their forces in the border area, preparing to conquer the Arctic Tigerfolk kingdom by force. The sudden attack of the enemy did not seem to attract the attention of the alpha of the Gnolls.

In the Beastman Empire, the territories of each race were governed by each race. Perhaps the Gnolls and the birdmen did not communicate with each other, and they did not realize that the enemy they encountered was the same one.

Xiao Hui had built three undead fortresses here. They stood side by side, like an indestructible line of defense, to block these Gnolls outside the far north.

And in front of the fortress were the undead army that had already been stationed. Except for the Silverscale Leviathan, they were all land forces.

Xiao Hui was now the commander-in-chief of this army of hundreds of thousands of undead.

More than 500,000 undead were gathered together, creating a spectacular and daunting scene. The undead army spread as far as the eye could see, their sheer numbers filling the entire landscape.

Ruby on the side looked worried. Facing a truly powerful enemy, it was impossible to win by quantity alone.

Xiao Hui had already explained her plan to Ruby. Currently, there were also Emperor level fighters in the undead empire. As long as they could lure out the alpha of the Gnolls and kill it, they would have the capital to completely deal with the opponent.

It was just that the idea was simple and useful, but it was extremely difficult to implement.

“Xiao Hui, what if there are Emperor level alphas on both your brother’s side and ours?”

Ruby meant that this would cause heavy losses to the undead.

“Of two evils choose the lesser.”

Xiao Hui said lightly, her eyes fixed on the front and never moved.

Her meaning was obvious. If what Ruby said really happened, she would not hesitate to abandon her own side.

“So, Ruby, you should go back, or go over there and help Xiao Mu and the others.”

“No, I can’t let you guard my people all by yourself. I want to do my part too. I’m not afraid of death.”

Ruby said stubbornly, her eyes full of firmness.

“Okay, remember that when danger comes, your own safety is the main thing. I won’t die, but you only have one life.”

Xiao Hui didn’t persuade Ruby anymore, she knew that the other party had made up her mind.

“Don’t worry, I have already informed Maulclaw and Shadowfang to gather their people to the undead fortress. If the situation is not right, Death Spirit will let them leave immediately.”

As she spoke, Ruby’s ears suddenly moved, as if she heard something.

“They are here, underground!”

Ruby’s reminder also made Xiao Hui react immediately.

“Zombie Titan!”

Thousands of Zombie Titans around heard Xiao Hui’s order, and fiery red lines immediately lit up on their bodies. Then, with the flames of huge power, they slammed their fists directly at the ground.

The power caused by so many Zombie Titans attacking at the same time was terrifying. For a time, even the ground vibrated violently, as if there was an earthquake.

Boom!

The earth collapsed instantly, and countless undead fell into the huge pit under this unexpected attack.

As the ground cracked open, Xiao Hui also saw the creatures underground clearly. They were a group of humanoid mice.

However, under the blow just now, most of the ratmen were crushed to death. The army of the Beastman Empire no longer hid, and they broke out of the ground from the distant mountains and forests, and killed the undead army in the huge pit.

“Charge, crush our enemies!”

Xiao Hui gave an order, her wings spread out behind her, and at the same time, she took out her weapon and Ruby killed the opponent’s army.

However, most of the King level troops of the undead were on the birdmen battlefield, and the combat power on Xiao Hui’s side was probably only half that of Xiao Mu’s.

Therefore, this battle might be more difficult than imagined.

The forces of the Beastman Empire were not only Gnolls, but also many races under their clan.

The opponent’s general was a Gnoll in golden armor, with strong muscles, black skin, and a tall stature. Except for its head being a dog’s head, it was basically no different from a human in other aspects.

This was completely different from the Gnolls that Xiao Hui had killed before!

This general’s weapon was a golden giant axe, his yellow-brown pupils looked straight ahead, and with just one glance, he could tell that Xiao Hui and Ruby were unusual among the undead army.

As a native race of the Eldoria continent, they were no strangers to the undead.

Originally, the general of this army was not it. It was temporarily transferred from the main city. Before that, it had already learned about the enemy attacking the birdmen.

At this moment, it came to the battlefield and finally understood everything.

“Report to the empire immediately, the enemy’s forces are the newly born undead empire, and the Arctic Tigerfolk have taken refuge in them!”

After saying this to the subordinate beside him, the Gnolls general disappeared from the spot, exuding a terrifying aura at the same time. He swung his giant axe and attacked Xiao Hui and Ruby at the same time.

Xiao Hui felt a huge sense of crisis in her heart. The opponent was Lv9 King level!

“Death Spirit!”

She shouted loudly, and Death Spirit directly possessed her, and Xiao Hui’s aura soared.

The pitch-black Sword of Judgment in her hand emitted frightening black energy, and she met the opponent’s attack with a sword.

Ruby’s reaction was not slow either. She directly transformed into a huge white tiger. With a fierce tiger roar, she attacked the opponent with all her might, her claws containing the power of frost and space.

Two months had passed, and Ruby’s level had already reached lv7. She could tell at a glance that the opponent was at lv9, so she didn’t dare to be careless.

As the queen of the Arctic Tigerfolk, she could only display all her strength when she transformed into a white tiger.

The Gnolls didn’t expect that Xiao Hui, who was only at lv4 King level, would suddenly increase her strength to lv8. Facing the siege of two high-level Kings, even if it was a lv9 king, it didn’t dare to be careless.

The moment the attacks of the three touched, the Gnolls felt bad. It was actually a little invincible!

It clenched the golden giant axe in both hands and wrestled with the two of them. At the same time, its eyes glowed, and yellow energy overflowed from its body.

In the next second, its body instantly grew larger, and the energy wrapped around it made it impossible to see its original appearance. The axe also turned into a huge weapon wrapped in black and gold energy at this moment.

Boom!

With a loud noise, it instantly knocked Xiao Hui and Ruby into the air at the same time, and their bodies fell heavily to the ground.
