"Nani?" The next day, Li Huailin received a shocking piece of news as soon as he went online. "Say it again?"
"Last night, our troops were attacked by the Demons and suffered heavy losses," Soudeis forced himself to repeat.
"Damn it, my ability to raise flags is getting better and better." Li Huailin facepalmed. "What's the specific situation?"
"It's like this." Soudeis walked to the map next to him and began to explain. The map here was a strategic map, and it clearly marked the current situation. "Your Highness, our troops are now here."
"Here?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. The location of the undead troops was really a bit strange because they were too deep. As mentioned before, the undead troops on this side crossed the Hailgaro River directly to attack the demons. It was tantamount to an attack with no way of retreat. Unless they broke through the other side's city and circled back, it was almost impossible to return the way they came. But now, the undead on this side had gone too deep. They had penetrated deep into the territory of the demons. To put it simply, they were alone in the enemy's territory.
"Why are they in this position?" Li Huailin asked a little strangely.
"Your Highness, didn't you give the order?" Soudeis said, "Last time, you ordered the troops to continue to the east and not attack the main city of the Demons for the time being …"
Soudeis was talking about the order Li Huailin gave before the Nations Cup. At that time, he ordered them to slaughter as many people as possible in order to kill as many people as possible. But now, there was no need to do so, because the difference was too big. So far, there was still more than 9.7 million people left. It was still too early, and Li Huailin was not in a hurry to break the seal.
Hearing Soudeis's words, Li Huailin really wanted to slap his forehead. These people were obedient, but they were too obedient. They really did not dare to go west when he told them to. The east was the mountains. Were they really planning to cross the mountains? Even if they climbed over the mountain and reached the sea, what would these people do …
"Alright, alright. Tell me about the losses," Li Huailin said.
"The troops were attacked in the wee hours of yesterday. They didn't expect the Demons to come out of the city to fight, so they were completely unprepared. The main camp was set on fire, and the troops were scattered. The one who reported to us this morning was Lord Liuke. When he sent the report, they had just gathered about 6,500 troops," Soudeis reported.
"6500 people?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. That meant that they had lost about 20,000 people? This was truly a huge loss. He had fought for so long, yet he had never lost so much. Just how was he supposed to evaluate these guys?
"The troops of Fiona and Dennis were scattered, and there's no response yet." Soudeis reported, "So we don't know the specific loss."
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. If Fiona and Dennis had led their troops to break out of the encirclement, the loss might not have been so big. "Inform Liuke to rest in a nearby city, then quickly set up a temporary teleportation circle."
"Set up a temporary teleportation circle?" Soudeis asked. "Your Highness, are you retreating? But the temporary teleportation circle can't teleport so many troops back. "
"Who said I'm retreating?" Li Huailin said. "If I were Cao Cao, you would have been killed long ago. I'm asking you to teleport over, okay?"
"Should I go to the front line to support?" Soudeis nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. I'm ready to fight at any time."
"Then contact them here. I'll go to the lab," Li Huailin said.
If there was a Skeletal Dragon, he would have flown over on it. Although he could fly over on Millet, Millet was too conspicuous and easily recognizable. Li Huailin intended to make the Skeletal Dragon the symbol of the Undead Emperor. Since it wasn't his mount yet, it could theoretically carry his substitute, which was very useful. Unfortunately, it was still dead, and Li Huailin went to ask when it could be resurrected.
When Zhang Heng arrived at the Undead lab again, it was obvious that work had begun, although the personnel were not ready yet. The bones of Nojorda that Li Huailin had casually piled up on the ground yesterday had been arranged and put together to form a fossil-like skeleton of a giant dragon. Several researchers were studying Nojorda's skeleton under Warren's leadership.
"Your Highness." Seeing Li Huailin, everyone immediately came over to greet him, including the newly joined Warren. He seemed to be used to Li Huailin calling him that.
"How is it? Can it be resurrected? "Li Huailin asked Warren because he was the main person in charge of this project.
"Hmm … It's slightly more complicated than I thought." Warren thought for a moment and said, "I tried to resurrect it once this morning, but it failed. I'm now studying the reason."
"You failed once?" Li Huailin asked. "What's the reason?"
"In the end, it might be because of my lack of experience," Warren said. "Although I understand the principles of Necromancy, I lack practical experience. Maybe it's because I can't control my Mana properly, which led to the summoning failure."
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded slightly. This was easy to understand. After all, Warren was a human, and he had been locked in the underground for so long. Although he knew Necromancy, he didn't have much practice. It was impossible for him to be like a real Necromancer, who needed to fight and summon Necromancers at the same time. There were too many places for him to practice.
"I'm discussing with Lord Mattheson to see if we can find some corpses to practice with. Then, we can summon the Bone Dragon when we're familiar with it," Warren said.
"Can't you keep trying with this thing?" Li Huailin asked. "Anyway, it's just practice."
"I can't, Your Highness," Warren said. Even though I'm at the Saint-tier, casting this spell consumes almost all of my mana. I tried it this morning, but I've only recovered 50% of my mana. That's why we decided to start with a simple method. Resurrecting ordinary corpses doesn't require a lot of mana at all. "Warren said," Don't worry, I'm not going to be able to do it. That's why we decided to start with a simple method.
"It's like this, Your Highness." Mattheson, who was next to him, rushed over and said, "We're going to do the same thing as resurrecting the Bone Dragon. First, we'll find some Magical Beasts and turn them into Undead Beasts. Then, we'll dig out their Crystal Cores and create the same situation as this Bone Dragon. Then, we'll let Master Warren practice. When Master Warren feels that the time is right, we'll officially resurrect the Bone Dragon."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. He had to admit that it was a more feasible method. After all, the more people there were. After a short discussion, they came up with a more feasible method. However, Li Huailin thought that there was a better way.
"I've just received news that our frontline troops have been attacked and suffered heavy losses," Li Huailin said.
"What? That idiot Liu Ke was beaten again? "Mattheson immediately said.
"Yes, that idiot," Li Huailin said.
"Sorry, Your Highness, I lost my tongue," Mattheson immediately said.
"No, you're right," Li Huailin said. "But the problem is that I have to rush to the frontline immediately. Now, the only solution is to build a temporary Teleportation Circle there. However, as you know, they just suffered a defeat, so I don't know when it will be ready. Also, I have to fly there myself. So, it's best if this Bone Dragon can be resurrected as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Highness." Mattheson finally understood why Li Huailin was rushing them. "But …"
"In short, the problem now is … a lack of Mana, right?" Li Huailin said. "If we have enough Mana, we can keep using the Resurrection Skill, right?"
"Uh …" Warren thought for a moment. "That's true. If I have unlimited Mana, I can keep trying to resurrect this Bone Dragon. I think I'll succeed after a few tries. I'm confident that I can do it."
"Alright then." After saying that, Li Huailin took out the Source Sword and stabbed it into the ground. Everyone was stunned. They didn't understand why Li Huailin suddenly pulled out the sword. Many people looked at him because Li Huailin looked like he was going to kill someone.
"Your Highness, this is …" Mattheson asked carefully. He had just suffered a defeat, and the resurrection of the Bone Dragon had failed. It was possible that Li Huailin wanted to kill someone.
"How's the recovery of your Mana?" Li Huailin turned to Warren and asked.
"Huh?" Warren was slightly stunned. He immediately closed his eyes and sensed for a second. He then opened his eyes and said, "What's going on? I feel that my Mana is rapidly recovering."
"What?" Mattheson was stunned. He immediately looked at the blue sword that Li Huailin had just pulled out. He hadn't noticed it before, but this sword … looked very strange.
"Your Highness, this sword …" Warren also looked over. Both of them could feel that this sword was somewhat special. However, they didn't know what kind of sword it was. This sword had been sealed since a thousand years ago. In their understanding, there were only two divine swords, Ghastly Light and Enlightenment. Although they could see that this sword was unusual, they didn't know what it was. "Your Highness, this sword …" Warren looked over.
"Let's talk about this later." Li Huailin said, "We have plenty of Mana now. Mattheson, didn't you say that there are many Demonic Beasts waiting to be resurrected? Come, come, come. You might be able to summon a lot of things. "
"Good idea. Your Highness is wise." Mattheson's eyes flashed. He then shouted to the people behind him, "Bring up all the corpses."
