Bayou and Mogus waited here for approximately half an hour until his figure reary appeared.
Master, he began, I have delivered the message, and the letter has been personally entrusted to the president of the respective division.
Mogus merely nodded in acknowledgement, then turned to Bayou and said, "It is sufficient now.
" Bayou promptly stepped into the portal while Mogus's disciple began to adjust the magical array for her.
As the surrounding white light flickered, the power of space grew increasingly potent.
Thank you for your assistance.
I shall remember your kindness.
But you expressed gratefully.
With that, her figure vanished completely from the room.
Mogus murmured to himself.
I hope one day you can lead the undead to the pinnacle among all races.
Chapter 263.
The frenzy goblin after a tumultuous whirl.
Bayou found herself in a different chamber.
Two magic apprentices had long been awaiting her arrival.
As she surveyed her surroundings and confirmed that she was no longer in the previous room, one of the apprentices spoke, "Esteemed honorary mage, your journey has been arduous.
We have prepared dinner for your enjoyment.
" Another apprentice added, "Indeed, my lord, due to recent disturbances along the Imperial border and the strained relations between the association and the sanctuary, the city has been under lockdown.
If you wish to leave, you will have to wait until tomorrow morning.
We humbly request the opportunity to host you well.
Despite her desire to depart immediately, Bayou understood that the city of Lingfang was sealed off and she could not force her way out.
Although the status of a royal mage was significant, it did not grant the liberty to act recklessly.
This indicated that the mage association in Marshall province was rather chaotic with the situation being quite tense.
That would indeed be troublesome, Bayou replied courteously, reassured by the fact that Mogus had already made arrangements on her behalf, alleviating her concerns about exposure.
And how shall we address you, esteemed one, as they guided her? The two apprentices inquired politely.
After a moment's contemplation, By responded, "I am by.
" Meanwhile, on the Dara Plains, a group of mages on route to the Goblin Kingdom suddenly halted.
"The president has commanded our return.
This area has been entrusted to an honorary mage, stated the leading wind mage to his two companions, accompanied by a throng of apprentice mages.
It has been several years since an honorary mage has emerged.
From which division do they hail? One of the companions asked.
The president mentioned it was from Thunder City.
A four-star mage came to reply.
A four-star lightning mage.
The president should have informed us sooner.
Now that the city is sealed, how shall we return? A female voice emerged from the black robes, the only woman among the trio.
We shall have to make do at the border outpost for the night.
The leader conceded.
Thus, the group of mages departed, soaring toward the imperial border, leaving the desolate Dara plains in a profound silence once more.
At that very moment, within the basin of the Goblin Kingdom, the goblins had fully retreated into their city, activating a green barrier around the Goblin King city.
This barrier could not be breached by the undead alone.
And after a day's battle, the royal mages had exhausted their magical reserves and could no longer summon their skills.
All undead forces had retreated to their stronghold, leading to a standoff between the goblin king city and the undead fortress.
The square was littered with the bodies of goblins and scatterbones.
The assault had not proceeded as smoothly as anticipated, which was one of the reasons Chun Foam and the royal mages chose to halt their offensive.
Additionally, there was an objective factor.
The attributes of goblins below royal rank would strengthen at night.
Both SAS and Jack, who arrived as reinforcements for the undead, had simultaneously ascended to royal rank.
Together with a newly promoted Arthur and Dachi, the Chun siblings, and the summoned skeletons, excluding the two fallen royal mages, there were a total of 20 royal mages on their side.
After the demise of three royal level goblins, the remaining royal level warriors on the goblin side number 27, this battle was initially well-matched and even until dusk, the undead managed to slay another six goblin royals despite losing two of their own.
The situation appeared promising.
However, unexpectedly, the aged goblin king, who had been concealed behind the city walls, launched a surprise attack.
At that moment, the undead were nearly depleted of their magical energy.
With a single powerful strike, the Goblin King unleashed a devastating wave that annihilated tens of thousands of undead, leading to the subsequent fall of five royal level warriors.
Faced with such a formidable adversary, Chinfong and the undead immediately opted for retreat.
The goblin king did not pursue, but instead activated the protective array of the royal city.
The losses for the undead were grievous.
Only 13 royal level warriors remained, which included the kings of the six great races, the brother and sister duo, and a skeleton monster.
The mere 21 remaining royal goblins did not pose a significant threat.
But the real concern was the goblin king, as all the undead were at level one and could not contend with him.
If the leader were present, they could summon seven royal level warriors, Chunua, upon the skeletal walls of the undead fortress, gaze at the seven discarded goblin corpses, and remarked that these had been retrieved by the undead without you.
The high-end combat power of the undead could not be summoned, leaving them only with cannon fodder.
The summoning duration for royal level corpses was 24 hours past this time.
The souls would dissipate and could no longer be summoned.
SAS explained this meant that if the leader did not return before noon the next day, these corpses would be rendered useless.
Chunua realized for the first time that there was a time constraint on summoning corpses.
The stronger the soul, the faster it dissipated, and the shorter the summoning duration.
Among those present, the one most knowledgeable about summoning spells was SS the Lich King.
Yet even he was currently unable to summon royal level corpses alone.
What about summoning another skeleton monster? Upon hearing this, SAS immediately dismissed Chunw as suggestion.
All the necromancers had perished, and summoning a skeleton monster would require expending all the magical energy of both myself and Jon, which was not cost-effective.
Chinfong concurred with SASS assessment, noting that Chun often entertained feudal ideas.
Among all the royal level beings, SAS demonstrated the strongest capabilities at their level.
If SAS were to lose his combat effectiveness, their situation would become even more precarious.
It was peculiar that the goblins, who clearly held the advantage, were not launching an aggressive assault.
Chun Schweb pondered aloud, reasoning that given the advanced technology of the goblins, they did not seem foolish.
It likely wounded TB long before they initiated their offensive.
Chinfong mused, simultaneously expressing concern for Chonuer's intellect.
How can you be so certain? Fool, because their magical energy is about to be fully replenished.
You're the fool.
I thought of that long ago.
Meanwhile, within the Goblin King s castle, the aged goblin king struck with ferocity, instantly instilling fear in all goblins and undead alike, showcasing the current Goblin King's strength.
Despite his advanced age, he still possessed formidable combat capabilities.
The castle of KFT Fortress had been captured by goblins.
Within the palace, the goblin king was once again confronted with an astonishing revelation.
Not only had the goblins dared to rebel, but they also had the audacity to assault his very citadel.
Before the goblin king could unleash his wrath, the teleportation array within the city erupted into a brilliant glow.
And astonishingly, a throng of goblins surged forth.
They bore no weapons, their eyes gleaming a fierce crimson and cradled a bomb in their hands as they charged towards the surrounding goblins.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The cacophony of explosions reverberated through the goblin king's stronghold, leaving the nearby goblins in utter chaos, unaccustomed to such a self-destructive tactic.
Fortunately, the Goblin Shaman arrived just in time, swiftly subduing the Horde of Goblins and sealing the portal, thereby severing the connection between the Citadel of Stabber and the Goblin King's Castle, which quelled the turmoil.
Had they lost their senses? The Goblin King surmised that these goblins must have conspired with the undead outside, plotting to jointly annihilate the Goblin Kingdom.
Chapter 264.
The goblin lord as Chunfong and his companions stood upon the ramparts of the fortress, gazing towards the distant Goblin King City.
A sudden explosion reverberated through the air.
From a shattered section of the wall, a solitary goblin emerged, clutching an enigmatic device.
With a swift motion, it activated the apparatus, and an intricate teleportation array materialized before them.
At that moment, Chanfang's attention was drawn to the previously vacant ground.
Now teaming with goblins that began to manifest in droves.
Recognizing the goblins as the kin of the gnomes, Chunfong promptly alerted the other undead.
