No heavy guard was assigned to watch over the grave, and even if there were, they would not be formidable adversaries.

Taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, Mice recruited a substantial number of civilians and deserters, thereby augmenting his forces.

Due to Eid's status as a supply city for the Firebeard clan, the two major clans were unaware that it had already been emptied by mice.

As they prepared to amass their forces to seize Eid, Mice, aware of his inferiority, had long since retreated with the supplies and equipment back to Almont City.

Certainly, it is not solely the Firebeard clan that has been unified.

The other two lesser clans have also been absorbed.

The current situation is that the four major clans have divided into two factions, vigorously waging war against one another.

The three clans are collaborating to assault what was once the most formidable clan of the royal lineage.

This is the general state of affairs.

Sai Jaoli and Shu lamenting the madness that has overtaken the dwarven kingdom.

Chua however paid little heed to such matters.

She was acutely aware that what had once been two captured cities had now diminished to one.

A clear loss for their side.

How disappointing.

She scoffed, turning her gaze away.

By the way, I still want another glass of that beverage.

Only Chin Foam was concerned with the most pressing issue at hand.

Where is the corpse of the Firebeard clan's leader? If more than 24 hours have passed since death, we cannot summon the undead.

What? Xiao Yinshua was startled to learn of this limitation and immediately began to calculate the time.

By noon, it would likely exceed 24 hours and the body remains in Aman City.

Chun Foam sprang to his feet, recognizing the gravity of the situation.

This was a highranking royal level loss.

A significant blow indeed.

Quickly alert the boss and instruct her to proceed with the summoning.

Why didn't you mention this sooner? Xiao Yianua, aware of her own shortcomings, spoke in a barely audible voice, timidly confessing, "I I intended to wait until the body was transported back before mentioning it.

I was unaware of this restriction.

" Chapter 277 departure for Aman City.

Upon receiving the news, Bayou remained relatively calm as several hours remained until noon and with the presence of the undead fortress in Aman City, there was ample time.

This situation could not be attributed to Xiao Leian Shua as she was unaware of this limitation.

Bayou entered the main fortress and was transported to the outskirts of Aman city where the undead fortress stood.

Esteemed Queen, your apostle sends greetings.

The undead guards within the fortress bowed to Bayou.

She cast a brief glance around.

Notify them to send over two more royal level beings.

We are not lacking in royal level forces at the moment.

With that, Bayou departed the undead fortress and took flight towards Aman city.

At this moment, the entire city of Aman was on high alert with patrolling dwarf soldiers stationed throughout.

Other clans had already learned that the border city behind the Firebeard clan had fallen to the rebels instigated by foreign entities, an unacceptable reality for them.

Upon discovering that Erdis City had been reduced to a ghost town, the two major clans filled with rage would inevitably realize that resources have been transported to Aman city, prompting them to unite in an assault.

This was the reason for the heightened tension within the city in recent days.

A single royal level being like Maize could not contend with two major clans, necessitating the assistance of the undead.

Transport the bodies to the undead fortress.

Maize commanded the surrounding dwarves, ensuring the Firebeard clan leader's body was carefully wrapped to avoid raising suspicion among the common folk.

There's no need for that.

I have arrived.

Bayou<unk>'s voice resonated from behind Maize, who immediately knelt on one knee.

Greetings, my lord.

Rise, Bayou gestured dismissively, summoning the body being carried by the dwarves.

It was indeed within the 24-hour window.

With the presence of this undead, Bayou felt significantly relieved.

Otherwise, she would have had to engage in a battle against the dwarves herself.

Tell me about the situation.

Bayou inquired of Maize.

Although she had gathered some information from Xiao Yianua, it was not comprehensive.

Maize recounted the current circumstances in detail.

And upon hearing this, Bayou understood the predicament he faced.

The Firebeard clan had not been completely eradicated.

After all, their lineage could not be severed.

Only the clan leader and a few of his sons have been slain, while majority of the Firebeer clan members remained alive, albeit incorporated into other factions.

Most notably, a significant number led by Zo Man had opted to pledge allegiance when they sensed the prevailing tide.

Shia Monigan, Bayou recalled his impure bloodline, reminiscent of a hybrid.

And now at a critical juncture for the clan survival, he had delivered a treacherous blow from behind.

Which clans remain, and what is their strength? Maize possessed more detailed intelligence than Xiao, Leon, and Shua.

The remaining clans were the Iron Fist, Hardbeard, Widebeam, and Stonefoot clans.

Among them, the Iron Fist clan was once a royal clan and the strongest.

Currently allied with the other three clans to resist the impending threat.

Their strength was somewhat superior to that of the Firebeard clan, though not by a vast margin.

However, as a former royal clan, the Iron Fist clan was extraordinarily formidable.

With rumors suggesting their leader had reached level 8 royal status, though this information was dated, it was possible he had ascended to level 9 by now.

After listening to Max's account, Bayou comprehended why the other three great clans had allied against the Iron Fist Royal Clan.

As for why the six clans did not unite initially to eliminate the Iron Fist royal clan, Max elaborated on the reasons.

Initially, the hardbeard clan and another clan that had been annihilated remained loyal, steadfastly supporting the Iron Fist Royal Clan.

However, the seven clans harbored ulterior motives and were not united, ultimately succumbing to incitement and division, leading to the current predicament.

Soon, the body of the Firebeard clan leader was summoned as a lich at level six, possessing strength comparable to that of a goblin king.

The lich could continue to level up, potentially rising to level seven or even eight due to this war.

Having met her majesty, the lich spoke in human tongue, bowing respectfully towards Bayou.

I shall assist you from this point onward, and I will also dispatch several more aids.

My objective is straightforward.

Not only to overthrow the Firebeard clan, but to unify the dwarven kingdom as well.

Bayou conveyed her aspirations to Max, and despite his prior suspicions, astonishment flickered across his face.

Yes, I shall not fail your expectations.

The presence of this level six lich greatly bolstered Max's confidence.

With Bayou<unk>'s departure from Aman City, having briefed Max, she left the lich behind.

If a level six lich could not handle the troubles ahead, her presence would be feudal.

After all, she herself was only level five.

Had it not been for the devastating clash between the goblin king and the boiling whale.

It would have been far less convenient for Bayou to seize this opportunity.

Meanwhile, in Xiao Yianua's castle, "What son Xiao is dead?" Xiao Yianua exclaimed in shock, incredulously gazing at the siblings before her.

Shunfong nodded, informing her of the events.

Her subordinate castle has been destroyed.

Wasn't it supposed to be safe there? How could this happen? Chun Fong shook his head, signaling his ignorance.

How did that expert return? Xiao Yianu inquired again.

I don't know, the Boston T say.

And what didn't he ask? After hearing Chan Fangs words, Xiao Yianu fell silent, realizing that as long as she was by Baiu's side, nothing adverse would befall her.

Were she in that situation, she might have made the same resolute choice to seek her kin.

Sighu lamented.

Meanwhile, Chenu was busy with her third drink.

Entirely indifferent to the conversation between the two.

However, she interjected, I must say, if you remain this weak and fail to grow stronger, you will inevitably be left behind.

Just wait and see.
