Chapter 796: Chapter 796: One Billion Undead and Sleepwalking
"Three days have finally passed, and this is almost full to bursting."
Fang Jie looked at the pitiable Mountain and River Spirits and thought it odd to see such a large entity display this expression. Although its strength continued to increase, the Mountain and River Spirits had to maintain a size of at least one hundred meters at their smallest.
"Alright, alright, let them out," Fang Jie said with a wave of his hand, and a flood of Undead burst forth as if a gate had been opened.
Among them, many had not undergone Fission; Fang Jie directly employed the Fission Ability.
A portion of the newly emerged Undead underwent rapid Fission beside the Mountain and River Spirits—one turning into fifty—before the subsequent Undead lifted them and took them away before the Fission process was even complete.
After all, even at its fastest, Fission still required several seconds.
If it was Demigod Level Fission, it would take several minutes—another flaw.
At least, Fission could not happen during battle; it had to be done in advance.
Countless Undead continuously poured out, while the Hero Units that had been waiting outside for a while took these troops and ran outward. They needed to continue spreading and capture more territory.
His underlings had already released two hundred Demigods. Although they were not very strong, they stuck together.
With an onslaught of Undead continuously invading the surroundings and sending back a lot of intelligence, if the number of enemies was too great, they would immediately flee and call for reinforcements. This way, Fang Jie managed to minimize his losses.
Of course, if they were just common troops, the loss would be much higher than for others.
The rough and crude manner of leading troops resulted in equally significant consumption.
After a while, Fang Jie stopped. "That should be enough. If we add any more, others might start having opinions."
A smile cracked across Fang Jie’s face. He had received some messages from Emperor Skeleton, which seemed to inquire how he could produce so many gold-level Undead Troops.
Others had been developing for such a long time, and while many had this kind of troop strength, not a single one could just whip them out like that.
Moreover, even if there were a lot of troops, it was impossible for them all to be of gold level; at most, only a few special types would be of silver level, and even those were not many, meant only for specific missions.
Fang Jie knew that Emperor Skeleton was reminding him that others had started to pay attention to him.
Even if those at the Divine Level don’t care about these, Demigod Level cannot be negligent.
"Let it be, that’s enough. In any case, if we have too many, when we return to the Divine Domain, there won’t be many places to put them. We can’t just pile them up—that would look very strange."
At this moment, Fang Jie’s Undead Troops had surpassed one billion in number.
Such a quantity would have posed quite a pressure, even for Fang Jie, to produce in a short time.
"It’s time to take a look at what the others have brought. I wonder how many troops they’ve managed to bring." Fang Jie paused, then decided to follow others to the surrounding territories.
It wasn’t Fang Jie who would initiate an attack, but rather, after receiving orders from Emperor Skeleton.
These orders were to expand into certain areas. In fact, the opposing Gods were also aware of this. Rather than calling it a struggle, it was more like some kind of game between Gods.
But this game was quite beneficial for the Gods.
Fang Jie quietly arrived at a troublesome area. It was troubling because the number of enemies who had occupied it was quite large and their strength relatively strong—of course, this referred to the Demigod Level.
"What’s going on here?" Fang Jie stared at the opposing Space Channel with some surprise.
Because the troops and native soldiers emerging from it were like zombies—wide-eyed but lifeless—as they walked out. As soon as they came out, they were guided to a special area.
The whole process was akin to a Cult ritual—so Mysterious and spine-chilling to watch.
Later, in this special area, Priests began to cast spells, and the expressions of these soldiers gradually came back, though they appeared tired.
Of course, this fatigue was physical, but their spirits were exceptionally high.
Then these people took out something prepared beforehand and drank it, and the physical fatigue started to fade away.
"Next batch, pick up the pace," someone from above said, and the soldiers immediately ran out. It wasn’t long before they headed towards the battlefield as if they had just rested.
Wait a minute, just rested? Could that be it?
Fang Jie felt perplexed, but after closely observing, he finally figured it out.
"So that’s it, that’s how they deal with the long travel time through the Space Channel."
He had initially thought these living creatures relied on their sheer strength to continuously travel for three days, rest upon arrival, and then join the battle. But now it seemed he had overthought it.
They naturally had their own methods, which was to rely on special magic to refresh their allies.
Indeed, during these three days, all soldiers spent their time Sleepwalking. All physiological activities were either completed during the Sleepwalking or sealed away using special methods.
Because they were Sleepwalking, there’d be no mental issues, just some physical fatigue. But in that time, as long as they could replenish with special items, the physical fatigue wasn’t much of an issue.
After arriving here, via Sacrificial Magic, the Sleepwalking Technique was dispelled, followed by some recovery supplements, allowing them to immediately enter the battlefield. The whole process was very natural, quite impressive indeed.
With this method, these Life Species troops were nearly as good as the Undead Troops.
The slight advantage brought by the Space Channel dissipated under this Skill.
But Fang Jie didn’t mind, after all, even with his Undead Troops, it would still take a long time to reach other locations after their arrival. Since various Teleportation Arrays couldn’t be set up here, the Undead had to travel on their own.
It’s unknown how they would conquer those massive worlds without large Teleportation Arrays—it wouldn’t be easy to conquer them.
Perhaps these are things only the Divine Level can change. Fang Jie couldn’t be bothered to inquire.
The battle below had already begun. Those Undead Heroes didn’t share Fang Jie’s curiosity to investigate. With a large number of Undead arriving, the war immediately erupted.
As for those people Sleepwalking, they wouldn’t make much of a difference. Killing them off would actually feel more relaxed and convenient.
