Chapter 2688 Reinforcements
"That's it, any questions?"
"No! Understood!"
The War Knights answered in unison, then, under Kotal's instructions, began mounting the undead Bone Dragons.
The War Knights possessed knightly skills and, after a brief period of familiarization, quickly mastered the control ritual of the undead Bone Dragons.
Kotal then chose an elite member of their clan to act as the leader, guiding the Bone Dragon legion onto the battlefield.
Fang Heng watched as the War Knights rode the Bone Dragons to the front line. He turned to Kotal and said, "Alright, the arrangements seem mostly done. Now it's time to show me the teleportation passage."
"Yes, of course."
Kotal took a deep breath, mounted a Bone Dragon, and said, "Please follow me."
...
The Bone Dragon flew for about three hours, eventually slowing down as it neared a black stone mountain peak.
It only began to descend slowly once it reached the top of the mountain.
Kotal jumped off the Bone Dragon's back first, landing on the mountaintop and waving up at Fang Heng, "Mr. Fang Heng, we have arrived, this is the place."
"Alright!" Fang Heng replied, then jumped down from the air.
The mountaintop was a vast open area, with towering black stone pillars scattered across the land.
At a glance, intricate patterns were carved into the surface of each pillar.
"This area was originally a special space with spatial fluctuations in the death realm," Kotal explained. "Our ancestors first discovered the naturally occurring spatial passage here. Afterward, they began experimenting with special methods to influence the passage's operation."
"After generations of efforts, we were finally able to use a magic array to control the opening and closing of the passage. Later, the elders of our clan continuously modified and upgraded the system, improving the teleportation passage's capabilities."
"However, opening the teleportation passage requires soul crystals. These crystals are very important to us, and this part still requires your assistance."
"Of course." Fang Heng stepped forward, examining the massive black stone pillars around the teleportation passage. "So, what worlds can we access now?"
"Well, regarding this, over the years, we have been steadily exploring other worlds. Finding worlds with traces of human existence through spatial rifts is not easy, and we have paid a significant cost in terms of lives during the process."
As Kotal spoke about the clan's achievements, there was a hint of pride on his face. He then pressed his hand against one of the pillars.
Whoosh!
The black stone pillar was activated, and fine, intricate patterns appeared on its surface.
"Each of these pillars has a corresponding world passage. Currently, there are only 72 worlds related to your human race that have been passed down through generations."
72 worlds? So many?
At first, Fang Heng had thought there would only be a few game worlds accessible through the passage. Hearing that there were 72, he immediately felt more at ease.
Although the necromancy faction was being suppressed by the Holy Court, where there is light, there is always the opposition of darkness, and the undead could always find ways to survive in the various hidden corners of the world.
Among the 72 worlds, there were bound to be a few suitable worlds for transportation.
Moreover, the necromancy faction itself originated from the death realm, so it was likely that many of the worlds related to necromancy were connected to these 72 worlds.
"Brother Fang! Brother Fang!!"
As the two were talking, Fang Heng looked up and saw Ji Xiaobo waving at him not far away. He was walking toward them with Teacher Gu Luo and the others.
"Teacher Gu Luo," Fang Heng bowed respectfully and nodded. "Have you discovered anything?"
"Yes, we've just compared the 72 teleportation points, and we have some findings. Come with me."
The undead council was unaware that Fang Heng was already contemplating a grand plan to move the entire death realm to the Vampire Apocalypse.
They still thought Fang Heng was interested in transferring items from the death realm for research purposes.
Therefore, they immediately had Teacher Gu Luo cooperate and provide full support.
Gu Luo had arrived ahead of time with Ji Xiaobo and had already done some tests.
The group moved deeper into the magic array area, and Gu Luo continued explaining: "The Dark Clan's teleportation passage is slightly different from the ones humans use. We've already analyzed the magic array, and we've confirmed that sixteen worlds can be matched."
"Of these, there are still seven worlds where undead activities exist. I've already communicated with the council, and we will select one of these worlds to establish a teleportation passage. We'll first try transporting some items from the death realm."
"However, I'm worried that during the transport process, the aura of death might cause fluctuations that could alert the Holy Court."
Gu Luo expressed his concern.
Most items from the real world, when transported into the death realm, would experience significant issues due to the death realm's aura, causing them to become ineffective in a short amount of time.
Likewise, according to the undead council's analysis, if items from the death realm were taken to other worlds, they would release a significant amount of the contaminated aura of death.
This aura, aside from causing negative effects, was also highly likely to attract the attention of the Holy Court.
Especially after Fang Heng had just destroyed one of the Holy Court's world boundaries.
The Holy Court had been greatly disturbed by this, and they had begun responding with full force, even opening a descent passage to the Holy Realm without concern for the cost.
If the Holy Court detected the leakage of death's aura, there was a very high probability that power from the Holy Realm would join the battlefield.
Fang Heng asked, "So, has a world been selected for the teleportation?"
"Yes, we've selected one. It's an advanced game world called the Black Rain World. We have a teleportation passage there, and we can use it to transport materials to Miyisca Fortress for analysis."
While the two were discussing, Kotal had already communicated with the Dark Clan guards overseeing the teleportation passage. He nodded and said, "Fang Heng, the death realm teleportation passage is now operational. I suggest we test it first to see if it's functioning properly."
After all, it had been thousands of years since it was last used. Although some checks had been conducted recently and no issues were found, Kotal still wasn't completely certain about the stability of the teleportation passage.
Practical testing was the most reliable way to confirm its functionality.
"Alright, let's get started. We'll test it first," Fang Heng said. He was also eager to see how the Holy Court would respond and then decide on appropriate countermeasures based on their actions.
"Good," Kotal nodded, signaling the Dark Clan members to begin activating the magic array.
As the Dark Clan members began to chant softly, the magic array slowly came to life.
A dark-colored spatial portal opened between two black stone pillars, revealing a shimmering passage.
"Fang Heng, let's go ahead and assess the situation," Kotal said, leading several Dark Clan members into the spatial gateway.
Teacher Gu Luo, meanwhile, took out a black stone slab from his possession, waiting for the undead council to provide further information.
