They swiftly evaded in all directions.
Countless bones floated in the air, coalesing into a colossal skeletal dragon encrusted with frost, which roared fiercely and launched its assault against the vampires.
Simultaneously, legions of skeletal archers emerged from the ground, their arrows fashioned from slender bone spikes, all aimed at the airborne vampires.
The arrows of the skeletal archers blazed with blue flames, and any vampire struck would instantly be reduced to ashes.
This was the dominion of the lich, capable of commanding and manipulating all bones within its realm, even summoning the undead to do its bidding.
However, such dominion was transient.
Once the lich's summoned undead had their souls returned to it, they would dissipate with the fading of its domain.
To conjure more, the lich would need to employ skeletal magic contingent upon the availability of corpses with the corpses already claimed by the necromancers.
The lich could only summon these temporary minions from thin air.
Of course, the skeletal dragon was not yet within the summoning capacity of the royal level lich.
It could currently only summon all manner of mutated skeletons.
The necromancer and lich were particularly resilient against tactics reliant on sheer numbers.
Ilong felt a pang of despair.
This royal lich proved to be more formidable than the two necromancers combined.
In a mere moment, nearly a thousand vampires had perished, transformed into 2,000 undead by the necromancers.
Only Ylang and a handful of leading vampires remained, desperately struggling for survival.
In the distance, the observing Long Jia was utterly stunned.
How could three undead possibly overpower nearly a thousand vampires? Yet, the grim reality was that in less than 10 minutes, all those vampires have been annihilated by the trio of undead.
A terrifying thought crept into long Jez mind.
Could one of those undead be a royal level being? If he were to replace the three undead with a royal general Meyers from the human empire, he would immediately shake his head.
Meyers could never achieve such a feat.
Were all three of them royal level? Ling Jia was taken aback, for the distance was too great for him to discern the realm of the three specters.
All he could perceive was their incessant summoning and control over the skeletal remains and frost.
Without delay, Ling Jia fled the Snowy Mountains with the newly summoned snow maiden, eager to inform the members of the alliance about this significant discovery.
Meanwhile, Xiaoa had long been awaiting Bayou at the castle.
To her surprise, she uncovered a traitor just beyond the Bayan mountain range, albeit from a considerable distance.
As three monarchs were engaged in the pursuit of Yelong, Bayu resolved to intervene personally.
After orchestrating the arrangement of the undead in the Bayan mountain range, Bayou also traversed through a portal to join Xiao Lianua on the other side.
Chapter 171.
Another traitor discussed the intelligence concerning the traitor.
Bayou was taken aback by the swift discovery of a traitorous lord.
Within a mere 7 days, the distance between the lords was considerable, and by the final day, the top spot on the leaderboard would scarcely accumulate many points.
After all, the locations of the castles were fixed, and the vastness of the magical continent rendered the search for so many traitorous lords quite daunting, far from the Bay Mountain Range.
The specters had detected that this traitor had allied with the dwarven clan, most likely the Firebeard tribe.
Xiao conversed with Bayou as they made their way toward the castle.
How can we be certain it is indeed the dwarven clan with which he is allied? Bayou inquired, somewhat puzzled.
Although this area was indeed under the dominion of the Firebeard tribe of the dwarven kingdom, the Bayern Mountain Range was positioned at the periphery, leaving room for the possibility of other races.
The specters had discovered a dwarven city in proximity to the traitorous lord.
Xiaoin explained this to Bayou.
Taken aback realized that despite spending considerable time on the magical continent, he had yet to witness the civilization of this realm.
Different races had distinct customs, and these humanoid species each possessed their own culture.
Even the weaker ones banded together to construct cities for communal living.
In light of this, it seemed that the Lord was indeed unfortunate, being yet another who was compelled to submit.
Nevertheless, being born adjacent to the cities of other races without being exterminated was a stroke of luck.
Shall we gather the undead to eliminate him? Xiao Lianua queried, "For Bayou, even a fifth tier lord with merely one point was not to be overlooked.
After all, no one could predict how many traitorous lords might be uncovered in these seven days.
No need.
I can handle it myself.
Given the nearby dwarven city, bringing the undead would be too conspicuous.
" Moreover, as Bayu had attained royal status, no fewer than 10,000 troops could hope to hinder him.
Thus, venturing alone was the safest approach.
"Please be cautious," Xiaoliu urged.
Bayu nodded, mounting his griffin, now reduced to one of the two commanding level griffins he once had.
He had contemplated bringing Xiao Liu along, as there was a chance of acquiring a subordinate barracks, but the distance was too great and the variables too numerous.
Pondering the strength of the forces that the traitorous lord might command, Bayou ultimately decided that acting alone would afford him greater agility.
Clad in his black robe to obscure his features, his white hair being particularly conspicuous by you set off on his griffin.
Meanwhile, Ylong, battered and bruised, had his left arm hanging limply and a penetrating wound on his right shoulder that bled profusely and refused to heal.
All the vampires have been vanquished by the undead, leaving Ulong to endure alone.
His expression inscrable as he regarded the three royal level foes surrounding him with over 2,000 undead encircling him.
Even if the vampire escorting Yuyang<unk>s blood were to perish midjourney, he had transitioned to a free man, abandoning his castle.
Yet escape was impossible.
The three undead had received by Yu's orders to eliminate Yelong, indifferent to whether he was a free man or a traitor.
Yang and Bayou were inherently adversaries.
From their first encounter to the subsequent slaying of the frost demon wolf, their relationship had always been one of enmity.
Any semblance of collaboration was merely a means to serve their individual interests with Bayou honoring her commitments.
Presently, both parties have been ascribed opposing identities by the system.
With Bayou having neutralized the forces on the Snowy Mountains, she had every justification to eliminate him.
where the roles reversed, Yelong would have acted similarly.
The misfortune lay in Yilong s failure to relocate at the moment his castle was discovered.
Instead, opting to entrench himself against surrounding forces.
In just a matter of days, Yilong found himself unqualified to confront Bayou as her army was more than capable of easily annihilating him.
the Elemental Alliance, the Gata Empire, and Bayou.
All three factions sought Yong as demise while he stood powerless against any of them.
Ultimately, not only did he failed to escape, but he also attracted the attention of a werewolf lord, leading to a fierce battle.
Subsequently, he was discovered by Count Yuka, resulting in coerc submission.
And now he faced an onslaught from the undead, teetering on the brink of death.
such as fate beyond the control of any individual.
Perhaps this is destiny.
Elong came to terms with reality.
In this moment of impending death, he realized he felt no trace of fear, rather a serene acceptance.
He had never aspired to reign over myriad races.
His singular desire was to survive in this foreign realm.
Perhaps his gaming skills were truly lacking, and perhaps being an ordinary worker was his true calling.
Yangs battered form was instantly pierced by the skeletal magic of the lich.
His blood and life force swiftly ebbing away.
He felt a drowsiness enveloping his mind as blood surged forth from his mouth.
With great effort, he lifted his gaze toward the three undead in the distance and smiled.
Finally, he could log out of the game as Elong disintegrated into ashes.
His castle began to tremble violently, eventually collapsing into a mere ruin.
The resources were of no concern to the undead as the spoils from the defeated Lordes treasury would be directly tallied and transferred to Bayou<unk>'s own vault.
With Yi Leyang s demise, the blood servants formed from his essence also vanished, leaving no remains behind.
Only a few scattered vampire corpses summoned from the barracks remained.
to buy you.
These corpses serve primarily to summon more undead, while the materials obtained through decomposition were negligible unless they were from commanders or higher.
The lich and two necromancers departed, leading over 2,000 undead, taking along the commander level vampire corpses.
Bayou received a system notification in Madair, confirming that the three undead had completed their mission and were returning to the castle.
With 2,000 undead at her disposal, it seemed wise to have summoned the necromancers.
The royal level necromancer could summon undead merely by exerting their domain, indicating that future tasks of summoning would no longer necessitate Bayu's direct involvement.
Now, she truly embodied the essence of a queen.
Bayou informed Xiaoi to send a royal level necromancer to guard the Bayin Mountains, ensuring that in her absence, it could lead the undead to safeguard the castle security.
