Addison stood beside the Blood River . He knew Zhao Hai’s plan and to be honest, he approved of it . He experienced Zhao Hai’s decapitation strategies, it was when they were dealing with the Five Element Skeletons and the Gibbon Brothers . With this strategy, they would shorten the time to conquer the Dark Temple .
Looking at the blood red body of water, Addison’s heart was on fire . They would finally start their true battle against the Dark Temple .
Although Addison and the others were now completely loyal to Zhao Hai, they still haven’t forgotten about their hatred towards the Dark Temple . They couldn’t help but feel happy now that this opportunity has arrived .
At this time, Zhao Hai appeared right by Addison’s side . Addison felt Zhao Hai’s presence, so he immediately bowed and said, “Young Master, we’ve gathered everyone . When do we make a move?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “We move now . ” Then he waved his hand, the water on the river suddenly formed a bridge . The bridge was a couple meters wide and it stretched across the whole span of the river .
Zhao Hai proceeded to beckon towards the bridge and said, “Those who can fly, fly over . Those who cannot, walk through the bridge . Make a formation on the other side . ”
Addison responded with an affirming grunt . Then although the Undead were still afraid of the Blood River, they still went to the other side .
Actually, Zhao Hai could just send them all instantly to the other side . However, Zhao Hai didn’t do so because he wanted the Dark Temple’s troops on the other side to see the approaching army .
Over the years, the Blood River has been the Resistance Army’s first line of defense against the Dark Temple . It was their most important line of defense . Also, in the past, the Resistance Army had tried to invade across the Blood River and they paid a huge price for it . If the Dark Temple’s troops saw how easily the Resistance Army crossed the river, they would know that it wouldn’t just be a simple attack .
The moment Addison and the others crossed the Blood River, the war had already begun . Psychological warfare, morale warfare, momentum warfare, all of these were critical to any army . One shouldn’t fail in establishing these aspects or else the war wouldn’t be good to you .
And sure enough, just like Zhao Hai thought, once Addison’s army gathered on the Blood River, the people on the other side immediately sensed them and then promptly sent a message back into the Dark Temple .
At the beginning, those Undead didn’t take this matter to heart . In their opinion, the Resistance Army didn’t have the strength to protect their lives in crossing the Blood River . Not to mention attacking them, the Resistance Army had to give their all in surviving . They didn’t believe that Addison’s army would have the strength left to pose a threat .
But much to their surprise, a bridge suddenly appeared on top of the Blood River . Then after that, in a relaxed manner, the Resistance Army just flew over the river . Nothing attacked them at all . This left the Dark Temple’s troops in a panicked state .
However, it was already too late for them to retreat . Although the Blood River wasn’t narrow, those who could fly could traverse the body of water in a short time . They didn’t leave any time for the Dark Temple’s troops to withdraw .
The Dark Temple’s troops immediately decided to defend . However, their numbers were too low . In almost an instant, they were overthrown by the Resistance Army .
But even though they were destroyed, the Dark Temple’s troops were still able to pass the situation back . Naturally, Zhao Hai knew about this outcome, and he had a way to stop it . The other party’s spiritual force wasn’t that strong, and the message would still have to go through a long distance . If Zhao Hai wanted to stop it, he can use his own spiritual force to intercept the message . But Zhao Hai didn’t do so since he wanted the Dark Temple to transfer some troops to stop the Resistance Army’s advance .
At this time, Zhao Hai and the others had arrived on the opposite shore . Addison looked at the lands that they had stepped upon . Although it was the same soil as the other side of the river, Addison and the others still felt that something was different .
Zhao Hai didn’t care about what they were thinking as he gave his command, “Pitch camp!”
Addison and the others recovered, then they quickly complied and pitched the camp . They were prepared to defend this place for some time, this was where Zhao Hai plans to attract the Dark Temple’s troops .
In Zhao Hai’s eyes, this wasn’t the main battlefield . The true battlefield would be at the heart of the Dark Temple . As long as they destroy the Dark Temple’s core, then everything else would be easy .
Zhao Hai also knew that for the coming days, the situation in this place would become beyond frigid . This was because the Dark Temple would regard this place as the main battlefront . Their armies would surely be unceasing . The pressure on Addison and the others would be very huge .
Although Addison and the others were Undead, after the establishment of the Academies, they had become their own race . This independence wasn’t only in Addison’s heart, Zhao Hai believed this to be the case as well .
Because of this idea, Zhao Hai didn’t want Addison and the others to die in vain . Therefore, Zhao Hai planned to attack the Dark Temple’s morale, decreasing the pressure placed on Addison’s group .
The base that Zhao Hai would construct wasn’t just any ordinary base, Zhao Hai borrowed the Divine Race’s fortress plans in order to make a stronghold . Not only was earth magic used in order to erect a hundred meter high stone wall, there would also be magic cannons and blood lightning javelins provided . All of these things were used to defend against the enemy . Zhao Hai wasn’t stingy this time, he took everything he can afford to take out .
The blood lightning javelins that the Space made had been upgraded Not only did they include a huge dormant energy inside, it also included deadly poison . This poison came from the Underworld’s Dark Ocean . It was very lethal against the Undead .
Besides these things, Zhao Hai also prepared a moat outside the fortress . This moat had the Blood River’s water flowing through it, complete with Blood Spirit Beasts . The Dark Temple would have to pay a very heavy price if they wanted to attack this fortress .
Zhao Hai regarded this war as his last war in the Underworld . Because of this, he didn’t spare anything in his preparations . He was going to use this event in to swallow the entire Underworld .
As long as he destroyed the Dark Temple, the Undead under the temple’s control would lose their power . As for the Neutral Alliance, Zhao Hai wasn’t concerned about them .
Because of this, Zhao Hai did his best in order to build this fortress into a solid defensive structure . This way, it would attract more attention from the Dark Temple, making Zhao Hai more relaxed in facing the man behind it .
Regardless of the enemy, Zhao Hai would still give his all . And even if Zhao Hai knew that the person behind the Dark Temple was probably just an incarnation and wouldn’t be that strong, he still didn’t underestimate him . What Zhao Hai wanted to do was to eliminate the other party while losing as least personnel as possible .
Zhao Hai was anxious to finish this thing because one, he wanted to obtain the buried treasures, and two, because his cultivation has increased beyond his imagination after gaining a new heart . Zhao Hai believed that it wouldn’t be long before he would complete the first stage of the Myriad Stellar Transformations Yin Yang Art . And when that time comes, Zhao Hai would have no choice but to ascend . Zhao Hai wanted to finish his matters in the Underworld before that happens .
With Zhao Hai’s efforts, the fortress was slowly being completed . Although the Undead wanted to help, most if not all of them could only use Dark Energy . For them, using earth element energy to make the wall was impossible . Therefore, they could only watch as the fortress was being made .
Fortunately, Zhao Hai was very powerful . It didn’t take long before the wall was finished . The magic cannons and the javelins have also been installed . After that, the experienced Undead inside the Space began to teach the other Undead how to operate the magic cannons and use the javelins . The tests proved that their might wasn’t small .
The Undead in the Underworld were strong, they were even stronger than the experts in the Divine Realm . Even the ordinary Undead had formidable defense . But now, Zhao Hai’s weapons have been improved . The magic cannons constructed by the processing machine now used materials that weren’t available before . This made the magic cannons last longer . The magic formations used on the cannons have also been upgraded, making each shot more lethal . Even if the Undead were defensively strong, they would still suffer under the magic cannons .
Zhao Hai finished making the fortress three days later . Making such a fortress in only three days, the only one who could do it alone was probably Zhao Hai .
The fortress was constructed right beside the Blood River, so it only had three walls . Moreover, these walls weren’t just ordinary straight structures, there were all kinds of edges and corners installed in them . Zhao Hai used his earth magic in order to provide the magic cannons and the javelins the best locations to fire from .
Outside the walls was a moat made with a branching stream of the Blood River . Inside this moat were Blood Spirit Beasts ready for ambush . At this point, they were waiting for the Dark Temple to arrive . At the same time, Lizzy was also using the Space’s monitor to pay attention to the Dark Temple’s movements .
Before long, the Dark Temple’s army was dispatched . But this time, the army they sent only contained a small number of troops . It seems like they didn’t think that the Resistance Army would be a threat . On the other hand, they concentrated their troops on the Neutral Alliance . It looks like they were planning to deal with the Resistance Army along the way before they clashed with the Neutral Alliance .
When Zhao Hai saw this, he couldn’t help but be speechless . He didn’t know how to react . The Dark Temple actually treats the Resistance Army as a side dish .
Upon seeing the situation, Zhao Hai didn’t immediately attack the Dark Temple . Although there weren’t a lot of defending troops left, the fact that the Dark Temple sent their troops to face the Neutral Alliance was something that was out of Zhao Hai’s expectation . The Neutral Alliance was quite close to the Dark Temple’s central area . If Zhao Hai can’t take out the core of the Dark Temple in a short time, then the army facing the Neutral Alliance would immediately return, and in a quick manner . Once they return, Zhao Hai’s surprise plan would be put to waste .
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai decided to wait . Once the fortress dealt with the first wave of troops, the army facing the Neutral Alliance would surely send people to deal with them . As long as that army moves, then Zhao Hai could immediately attack the Dark Temple . Even for the Experts, the distance between the Blood River and the Dark Temple’s core territory would take them several days of travel .
The fourth day after Zhao Hai completed the fortress, the Dark Temple’s army finally arrived . The army stood outside the fortress, dumbfounded . They didn’t expect a fortress here, there was even a moat .
The Dark Temple’s Undead stared at the huge fortress . They were speechless for a while . Zhao Hai made a large fortress, it can hold about 100 million Undead inside . The army sent by the Dark Temple this time contained 500 million Undead . It was impossible for these Undead to take a fortress that was armed to the teeth .
The Dark Temple’s high-ranking Undead were also left staring . They didn’t know what to do with the situation . After further discussions among them, they decided to make an attack first to see what would happen .
Before long, 100 million took flight and threw themselves towards the fortress . Zhao Hai wasn’t inside the fortress and was instead inside the Space . He was looking at the monitor while Lizzy was commanding the Undead, he didn’t plan on interfering .
At the same time, Lizzy didn’t make any great moves . He just commanded the Undead to man the magic cannons as well as equip themselves with javelins . Then they waited in place .
When the approaching Undead were about a kilometer away from the fortress, Lizzy finally ordered to launch the attack . Energy beams from the magic cannons immediately flew towards the Undead .
The Undead haven’t encountered this kind of attack before . They kept flying forward, they didn’t even try to dodge . But after the unending barrage of magic cannon fire and javelins arrived, batches upon batches of Undead began to fall from the sky .
However, this didn’t end there, another batch of attacks came in . Upon seeing the next wave, the Dark Temple’s Undead began to wake up . One after another they began to dodge, it was total chaos . However, they were still at a safe distance . Although there were a lot of deaths brought by the magic cannons and the javelins, there were even more Undead who were able to escape .
The Dark Temple’s undead were completely untrained, they were a motley crew . Just one hit from the fortress’ magic cannons and javelins was enough to send them back .
