Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Time ticked away, second by second.

With a countdown of 25 seconds, eighteen Alien Lords appeared within the territory coverage, unleashing a vast meteor fire rain towards the territory.

At 24 seconds remaining, a gigantic scroll unfurled, covering the entire expanse of the territory overhead, from which a tremendous pulling force emanated.

All beings within the territory were bound by this pulling force, those not strong enough were sucked into the open scroll in the sky en masse and disappeared from sight.

The Skeleton Subjects working as laborers in Zi Liyuan's territory were almost instantaneously absorbed into the scroll.

Only the undead creatures with the strength of First Order or above resisted this pulling force, struggling violently.

However, as time ticked by, the pulling force grew incrementally, and before long, even these struggling undead would be drawn into the scroll.

With 20 seconds on the countdown, a beam of intense light descended from the sky, transforming into a hundred-meter tall light prison that ensnared the Undead Jade Horse that was galloping at full speed, preparing to attack the incoming foes.

The massive collision sound made the vast light prison tremble incessantly, several cracks appearing but it didn't break, stubbornly imprisoning the Undead Jade Horse, leaving it trapped for the moment.

At 19 seconds left, dozens of greenish whirlwinds began to form within the domain of Zi Liyuan.

18 seconds remaining, countless meter-long Wind Blades burst forth from the whirlwinds, sweeping across in all directions like scythes.

Where the Wind Blades passed, the earth was scarred with wounds crisscrossing each other, those undead bound by the sky scroll's pulling force were sliced into fragments of bones.

All ordinary undead, even elite monsters, perished under the slicing Wind Blades.

Only boss-level undead skeletons barely managed to withstand the onslaught, but every single one of them was in dire straits, missing limbs and severely injured, significantly weakening their combat abilities.

Of course, as relatively powerful entities among the bosses, the Shadow Leopard and the two Gale Wolves elegantly sidestepped the onslaught of the Wind Blades, dodging all attacks with ease, as if on a leisurely stroll.

At this moment, the soul fires within the eye sockets of the three bosses flickered wildly, lying in wait, ready to ambush the Alien Lords that had appeared at the edge of the territory.

As for the other Second Order clumsy bear boss, due to its lack of agility and its enormous size, it was once again covered in wounds, its breath weakened to the extreme, as if it would be dismembered by the Wind Blades in the next second.

On the other hand, buildings in the way were covered with a layer of transparent energy shield, protecting all structures.

Even when sliced by the Wind Blades, no marks were left on them.

This was the territorial shelter; as long as there was sufficient energy to replenish the loss from such wide-ranging attacks, it could ensure that the buildings would remain undamaged until the Lord's Mansion was destroyed.

For Zi Liyuan, the energy reserves in the Lord's Mansion were, for the moment, ample, fully capable of withstanding the consumption from this extensive attack.

Of course, Zi Liyuan wasn't one to endure an assault without retaliation; those daring to attack him would naturally not be spared.

So, while watching the countdown, he launched a counterattack.

A series of bone projectiles, fired like a machine gun, relied on sheer volume; aiming at the crowd and letting fly was all it took.

The main strategy was to keep the Alien Lords from getting close, delay them for a dozen seconds or so, then decisively overpower and crush them, squashing these audacious fools.

The machine gun-like bone projectiles caused some surprise among the group of Alien Lords, but they quickly raised a series of earthen walls to shield themselves.

For a moment, the air was filled with flying dirt and dust, obscuring the vision of both sides. Experience more content on empire

For the Alien Lords, it was a slight nuisance, but not a significant problem, as they had employed certain methods to firmly lock onto Zi Liyuan. The reason they hadn't entered the territory to capture the king was the concern over the yet unseen Tier-4 Peak Epic Boss.

The Array Plate "Drawing the Ground as Prison" had been enhanced, now unfolding like a scroll covering the sky above the entire territory.

Don't think that now it's just about drawing the undead creatures into the Purple Abyss Territory; in reality, no maximum power has been unleashed. It's all waiting for the appearance of the Epic Boss ghost Hongsha.

The one used to confine the Undead Jade Horse, this Epic Boss mount, is another trump card—Light Prison.

This is a Holy Light confinement spell, highly effective against undead and dark creatures. Even a Tier-4 Peak Epic Boss, once confined, would need at least fifteen minutes to break free.

These Alien Lords are now just waiting for Hongsha to show up, trap her, and then proceed to hunt down Zi Liyuan.

Of course, they can also clean up the various undead creatures within the territory right now to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

As for Zi Liyuan's escape, it's no longer important.

As soon as they set foot in his territory, they were prepared to seal off this space.

If one wants to flee, one must breach their siege and run thirty kilometers away.

In such a prolonged period, even if Zi Liyuan managed to escape, they could still destroy his Lord's Mansion!

So now, their mindset is, if they can kill Zi Liyuan, they will; if they can't, then they'll just destroy his Lord's Mansion!

The key point is no longer just Zi Liyuan himself, but that his Lord's Mansion must be utterly annihilated!

Failure is not an option!

The countdown reached 15 seconds, and a sandstorm attacked the Purple Abyss Territory.

Sand filled the sky, winds howled fiercely, and wherever the sandstorm passed, Skeleton Bosses were swept up into the air, torn apart by the storm, turning into fragments of bones scattered everywhere.

Buildings that could protect against the green Wind Blades started to falter under the onslaught of the sandstorm.

Other than constructs like the Illumination Towers and libraries, which were mostly made of stone, buildings primarily made of wood began to gradually disintegrate and collapse.

With the protective barriers on the buildings' surfaces unable to replenish energy quickly, they eventually turned into shattered bits of wood and stone amidst the sandstorm.

"This guy really can bear it; it's already this late, buildings in the territory are nearly destroyed, and even the Lord's Mansion has suffered some damage, yet he still doesn't release that red-clad ghost he's hiding."

"Without trapping the red-clad ghost, the complications are too great. A Tier-4 Peak Epic Boss, if she fully commits to escaping with him, a thirty-kilometer distance would take just a few seconds, not enough time for us to destroy the Lord's Mansion."

The shield of a Level 1 Lord's Mansion has a million hit points, increasing by a million with each level. Now, as Lord Zi's mansion is at Level 9, its hit points are a staggering nine million.

Given their current situation, where these Lords temporarily have only a tenth of their strength, to shatter the shield with nine million hit points in an extremely short time, even with eighteen of them combining their output, would take at least 10 seconds.

That's why they must trap both Epic Bosses to ensure that Zi Liyuan's escape fails.

Zi Liyuan, of course, understands why this group is hesitating outside the territory.

Just as well, he needs to buy about a dozen seconds, so he's quite willing to play along with these fools.

As for the buildings in the territory destroyed by the sandstorm, except for the special structure [Magic Library] and the Lord's Mansion, there's not much to worry about.

He simply needs to rebuild after the destruction, wasting just a bit of time.

He doesn't care about the various undead creatures that have died or been injured because once the Level 10 Lord's Mansion lifts the Sea Boundary Seal, all sorts of powerful undead bosses will be available.

Does he really like raising skeletons?

Isn't this because of the Sea Boundary Seal, which reduced his strength by ninety percent, forcing him to use cannon fodder just for show?
