More accurately, he had not had the chance.

Cough, cough.

Suddenly, Sun Sha Shao, who was behind Bayou, coughed violently and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bayou hastily descended, gently placing Sun Sha Sha on the ground.

"Sister Bai, is that you?" Son Sha Sha weakly inquired, and Bayu noted the fever radiating from her forehead, her palar alarmingly ghostly, and her lips devoid of color.

"It is I.

I've come by, you replied, crouching down to support Sun Sha Sha with her arm while conjuring a blend of ice and fire magic, melting it into water, which she then summoned with wind magic to bring to Sun Sha's lips.

She managed to sip only a few mouthfuls before she began to wretch violently, expelling the water along with blood and remnants of food.

Sister Bai, thank you.

What the enemy and my father and cousin son Xiao Xiao<unk>s voice grew even weaker by you hesitated momentarily.

I have vanquished the enemy.

They are all safe.

However, you are gravely injured.

Do you understand? Speak less now.

I will find a way to heal you.

Mm.

Byou observed son Shia Sha nodding weakly and chose not to press further.

Feeling a sense of relief.

I truly did not wish to burden you again.

At that moment, Sun Sha Shao felt dejected, acutely aware of her own injuries, unable to articulate the symptoms that felt like a profound dissonance between her soul and body.

Do not speak such foolishness.

Seeing Sun Sha Sha grow increasingly frail, Bayou wasted no time and hoisted her on her back, resuming her flight eastward.

If she did not receive treatment soon, sustenance would be unattainable, and starvation would claim her life.

Sister Bai, that angel.

He radiated golden light and then all the troops perished.

I too was enveloped in the golden glow and lost consciousness.

By gaze sharpened.

That was the domain of the angel.

To her astonishment, Son Shia Sha, a mere level one commander, had somehow withstood the angel's power without succumbing.

That angel is truly formidable.

Yet, Sister Ba is the mightiest.

I never imagined even the angel will be no match for you.

I too shall become as strong as sister by she muttered disdainfully dismissing the angel having previously thought them to be virtuous beings.

By you fain nonchilence though her heart grew heavy with concern as they journeyed.

Son Xiao Xiao<unk>s words began to flow more freely.

This was not a favorable sign reminiscent of a fleeting moment of clarity before the end.

Bayou quickened her pace eastward, disregarding the depletion of her magical energy, fervently wishing to escape this desert as swiftly as possible.

Unbeknownst to her, Sun Sha Sha slipped into unconsciousness once more.

On the other side, in the vast plains of great terror, Chunfong and Chunwa, guided by intelligence, led their undead forces to the location of a lake.

The true goblin kingdom lies hidden beneath this.

Chunfong murmured solemnly.

These goblins must be fools.

Chunua couldn't help but scoff.

This is the most desolate place I've ever seen.

Yet here sits a lake.

Practically an invitation for suspicion.

What are these ugly creatures thinking? It's an insult to intelligence.

Let us see if we can get inside.

If not, we'll break through by force, Chun Fong said, stepping forward to inspect the area.

Yet with no knowledge of magic, he could discern nothing unusual.

To his astonishment, his hand met the water-esque surface without resistance.

I expected to hit a barrier immediately, he muttered in disbelief.

It seems without magic, one can't even perceive its existence, let alone breach it.

Ultimately, it was the necromancers and liches who uncovered the method of entry.

They turned to Chinua.

We required dark elemental energy.

They in toned without hesitation.

She nodded.

Of course, Chinfong s light element could achieve the same effect.

But as undead beings, their affinity with dark magic was far stronger.

Soon, the necromancers and liches began their incantations in unison.

Before long, a shimmering barrier materialized before them.

Strike! Chunu swiftly gathered dark energy and drove her fist into the barrier.

It fractured instantly, revealing a gaping breach, seizing the moment before the goblins within could react.

The siblings and their undead legion surged inside.

Beneath the artificial sky of the barrier, a city stood half-constructed yet nearing completion.

Beyond its walls sprawled crude goblin encampments, watchtowers, and arrow turrets.

At the heart of these makeshift settlements, a massive bonfire roared, surrounded by a rockous crowd of goblins dancing and shrieking wildly.

The basin expanse was vast, ample space for five such cities.

The surrounding cliffs had been hollowed into countless caves, likely for storage.

In addition to the visible defenses, black and ballisty hung ominously from the high walls.

Though their fortifications appeared thorough, the realry of the goblins betrayed their complacency.

Long concealed beneath the barrier they had grown lax.

Their vigilance dulled.

It's like an isolated utopia.

Chun Schwam marveled, awed despite herself by the ingenuity of the ugly goblins who had conceived such a hidden stronghold.

As the siblings and their undead descended through the rift in the barrier, the rockus celebration below froze into stunned silence.

Enemies were under attack.

Chaos erupted.

Goblins scrambled for weapons, hurling themselves at the invaders as piercing alarms wailed through the basin.

Arrows and spells rain from the watchtowers while goblin shamans at top the platforms unleashed their magic in frantic retaliation.

The enormous crossbows that hung from the top of the surrounding walls began to pivot, aiming at the foes below.

These assaults were mere child's play for the undead.

As apart from the duo of siblings and Arthur, the remaining undead present were all of royal caliber.

Chunfong and Chinua were taken back, witnessing 10 domains unfold simultaneously, a spectacle they had never encountered before.

In an instant, every attack was repelled, and the besieging goblins were annihilated in an instant.

Even the distant watchtower, arrow towers, and heavy crossbows were obliterated by the massive bone spikes.

Chinfo retrieved the fortress crystal core, activated the construction, and forcefully hurled it into a vast expanse of open ground.

A colossal magical array swiftly enveloped the earth, and a majestic undead fortress emerged.

Chapter 250.

The assault commences within the city of the undead.

A royal death knight sentinel observed as the second rune illuminated the inner walls of the main fortress, signifying the completion of the undead stronghold.

Immediately, it commanded the undead army to surge into the fortress, entering the colossal black teleportation array.

In the Daylor plane within the basin, a myriad of diverse undead emerged like a relentless tide from the five portals within the stronghold.

Several siblings and a few royals floated in midair, silently watching this spectacle from the rear of the fortress.

The guards outside the Goblin King s castle were bewildered, unable to comprehend the sudden appearance of the gigantic fortress before them.

The undead swarmed up the bony staircases of the fortress, akin to locusts, and leaped off the battlements.

Some airborne undead upon exiting the portals soared directly into the sky.

The moment the undead fortress materialized, it automatically activated its protective shield while the central necroantic tower initiated an assault.

The goblins stood in stunned silence, astonished as enemies poured forth from the fortress.
