Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2205 - 1001: Just a Pawn (Part 2)

This battle cannot continue like this.

Now we are in the enemy’s territory, whether it’s the battlefield or the recruitment of soldiers, everything is greatly advantageous for the enemy.

Although I have recruited a massive undead legion, here it is like rootless duckweed, every unit consumed is forever lost.

I must return to my domain to fully leverage my explosive soldier creation advantage.

But what fills General Sethstein with despair is that bringing the remaining undead soldiers back to the territory seems like a luxury.

He had been lured too deep into the enemy’s territory.

The enemy’s skeleton cavalry clings like maggots to a bone, utterly impossible to shake off, occasionally charging forward to devour portions of the undead soldiers from the flanks or rear.

Sometimes over a thousand, sometimes several hundred.

This "scraping" tactic feels negligible at first, but with continuous action on the same spot, eventually each strike thrums through the marrow.

General Sethstein had attempted to utilize his formidable prowess, leading a handful of skeleton giant cavalry to utterly crush them.

But the divine power presence and his devil servants, equally elusive, doggedly haunt him.

After several rounds of engagement, narrowly escaping entrapment, General Sethstein ceased such reckless attempts.

It’s not that he’s cowardly; his soul origin is stationed at the Giant Skull Castle where Giant Bone King resides, ensuring he won’t be completely annihilated as long as it isn’t destroyed.

However, if he falls, the hopes for this remaining two to three hundred thousand undead army to return to the Giant Bone Domain will be decisively shattered.

Without his leadership, they will fragment, consumed before his rebirth and return.

Though the undead in Giant Bone Domain are abundant, recruitment takes time, especially when most left are essences, which takes even longer to summon.

General Sethstein suddenly realized he overlooked a crucial issue—his call to arms essentially emptied all undead in that area, leaving soul pools unprotected.

His eagerness for battle overshadowed considerations of defeat’s catastrophic consequences.

So much time has passed; whether those soul pools still belong to Giant Bone Domain, or even exist at all, remains unknown.

General Sethstein now is completely sure this divine power presence can transfer, even destroy soul pools.

After they attacked Bone Hill, no sight of the soul pools was found, as if his previous visions were delusions, as if they never existed.

Upon comprehending the key issue, General Sethstein hesitated no longer, directly activating the skeletal teleportation spell, cocooned in layers of bone, returning to the Giant Skull Castle.

Though greedy, he understands the importance of assessing the situation.

The enemy faced this time, his cunning is unprecedented; continuing like this may risk losing the Slaughter Divine Power without seizing it, sacrificing the entire Giant Bone Domain to the enemy.

Compared to dealing with an unknown master, General Sethstein prefers the Giant Bone King whom he knows well.

Upon hearing the enemy commander left, Gaven received the news immediately, as this event directly affected the undead army.

Without General Sethstein’s mandatory orders through his helm, the entire army instantly fractured; low-level undead lords momentarily found themselves indecisive.

Some foolishly led their soldiers to remain in place, others began marching undead soldiers homeward (soul pools), while some initiated attacks on nearby roaming skeleton cavalry.

"This commander is even more astute than we anticipated, I thought he would only react after exhausting his troops," the Dog Demon seemingly praised, yet his words conveyed sheer contempt.

This undead general exemplifies overblown ambition yet appalling incompetence in command.

Blindly recruiting an army and marching into enemy territory without clear, thorough scouting.

Being led by the nose is not uncommon.

In the Bottomless Abyssal, this situation is entirely normal.

From top to bottom, their cerebral capacity isn’t particularly high, traditionally winning by sheer numbers.

Their numbers are frighteningly vast; coupled with conspiracies and tactics of devils from The Nine Hells, this world wouldn’t have room for other creatures, entirely claimed by the Demon Army and swallowed by the Bottomless Abyssal.

"Leave this to you; consume them all, this will likely be our last relatively easy battle. Our methods are largely exposed, the same tricks surely won’t work, we must seize the moment and destroy more of the enemy before their army assembles, capturing more soul pools, gathering more soul power."

Gaven would not underestimate the Giant Bone Domain’s war potential simply because of General Sethstein’s inept performance.

Previously, they exploited the enemy’s lack of caution and preparation; in future engagements, the enemy will be more vigilant and strategic.

An undead general can casually call out within the Giant Bone Domain to amass fifty to sixty thousand undead soldiers.

If the entire Giant Bone Domain were to be deployed, wouldn’t they reach five to six million?

Against sheer numbers, the previous tricks might pale in comparison.
