This is actually a good thing for him.

The area where the Sea Elf Race set up their Space Transmission Magic Arrays is basically not close to here, more are being transmitted from the rear main city to the one near the Gana Race’s main city.

After all, previously, the Sea Elf Race focused all their efforts on the Gana Race; all tactics and strategies were aimed at dealing with the Gana Race, and there was no defense against the Chaotic Sea Domain.

So, if they needed to transfer forces, they would have to move people from the Gana Race’s side through the nearby main city’s Space Transmission Magic Array, then transmit them to the rear main city of the Sea Elf Race.

Departing from the rear main city and rushing to the front lines of the Chaotic Sea Domain would undoubtedly waste a considerable amount of time, so it would be difficult to gather forces swiftly.

Setting up a new Space Transmission Magic Array would take at least several months, and in such an urgent situation, obviously that Undead Vision wouldn’t leave them that kind of time.

In fact, a very important reason why Gugel chose to retreat to the area of three cities is that he heard the Undead Forces are quite special; they do not utterly destroy all living creatures in occupied territories.

They only kill the knights and mages in the occupied territories and don’t persecute ordinary people at all, but instead leave them alive.

If this Undead Force were the kind that the rumors depict, killing everyone on sight and exterminating them, Gugel definitely wouldn’t consider the tactic of retreating from three cities.

Because making such a decision would be akin to pushing his people into a fire pit.

The uniqueness of the Undead Forces led Gugel to adopt extraordinary tactics in response to them.

After retreating to the rear of the three cities, Gugel began to reorganize the forces under his command.

At the same time, he incorporated forces gradually gathering from the rear into his army and began to summarize his forces, allowing them to adopt various joint tactics and complex battle techniques.

These tactics and battle techniques were created to deal with the Gana Race in the past, and now they clearly can also be effective against those Undead Creatures.

By the time half of the Sea Elf Race’s forces had gathered under Gugel’s command, half a day had already passed.

And according to the messages from the personnel arranged at the front main city, the Undead Forces have already occupied one of the three abandoned cities and are currently sorting out the resources and wealth within that city.

Upon receiving this news, Gugel felt a slight pain in his heart because that city was quite famous within the entire Sea Elf Race.

Its resources and wealth ranked first among all the cities in the Sea Elf Race.

But there’s no choice, this is currently the best strategy available.

Most importantly, if he can defeat the Undead Forces, he can reclaim the resources and wealth plundered by the Undead Forces, so the heartache is only temporary.

Furthermore, since the Undead Forces haven’t harmed the ordinary citizens of the cities, it’s something he can accept.

By the next day, virtually all of the Sea Elf Race’s forces had gathered under Gugel’s command.

Even two-thirds of the Elder Council’s personnel had arrived.

Honestly, Gugel was quite surprised to see these forces because the Great Elder of the Elder Council had previously told him that half of the Elder Council’s people would be assigned to assist him.

Yet unexpectedly, they sent two-thirds at once.

However, he quickly learned from one person’s mouth why the Great Elder of the Elder Council did so.

Because the Great Elder of the Elder Council believed the Undead Forces might be more terrifying than they imagined, and thus felt a full-strength approach should be used.

So they intended to deploy all the personnel of the Elder Council to the front lines, following Gugel’s command.

But some couldn’t return in time, so the Great Elder sent all the available personnel to Gugel.

Moreover, if not for the sudden outbreak of war that required much attention from the Sea Elf King and the Great Elder of the Elder Council back at the Royal Capital, the Great Elder would have wanted to come as well.

Gugel greatly appreciated the Great Elder’s caution because he believed the same.

So he quickly distributed the Elder Council’s forces accordingly.

At the same time, he received new intelligence from the personnel at the front line: the three cities he abandoned have been completely occupied by the Undead Forces.

The enemy seems to be holding their positions, intending to muster all their strength for a direct, full-scale confrontation with them.

To be honest, this behavior from the opponent made Gugel feel very uneasy; he didn’t know where their confidence came from.

But in truth, there wasn’t much he could do since this was an open strategy by the opponent, leaving no other way but to rely on their own strength.

Therefore, Gugel began employing all the methods of the Sea Elf Race, setting up defenses and traps with all his might.

From the current situation, the Sea Elf Race holds the initiative since the opponent, being the invader, must push deeper into their territory, allowing them to prepare various methods to counter.

Time swiftly passed, and three days went by.

All the traps and methods that could be set up were already completed by Gugel; now, they just had to wait quietly for the full-scale assault by the Undead Forces.

According to reports from scouts arranged by Gugel, a steady flow of Undead Creatures is gathering towards their front-line city.

Now, conspiracies have no effect; it’s a contest of strength and resources. Whoever has deeper reserves and stronger power will be the final victor.

Honestly, the Undead Forces adopting this strategy was truly unexpected for Gugel.

In his view, the necromancers behind the Undead Forces should resort to all sorts of schemes, in line with their identity. Their straightforward, all-out attack was surprising to him.

His only explanation is that the other side has a strong confidence in their own strength; otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.

That evening, Gugel roamed in the water; behind him lay the meticulously arranged defensive lines and traps set by his people.

At the end of his vision, he could vaguely see the outline of a city, which is where the Undead Forces are persistently gathering their troops.

At this moment, the distant city exhibited strange activities.

He could see a mass of Shadows begin to converge over the city, then head towards them.

Gugel took a deep breath, knowing the Undead Creatures couldn’t hold back any longer and were preparing for an all-out assault.

He released all his inner negative emotions and began making his final mobilization.

“Everyone, the malicious Undead Forces have invaded our homeland without any justification. We must defend everything behind us. We cannot lose this war. If we lose, we will lose everything.”

“Power! Status! Wealth! As long as we win this war, everything you desire will be yours. Show those damn Undead Creatures your strength with all your fighting spirit.”
