The combat strength of an undead army controlled by someone and an undead army controlled by someone could be said to be worlds apart.
These skeleton soldiers and ghosts that crawled out of the ground had always been fighting on their own. They only instinctively attacked Roy and the others out of jealousy and resentment toward the living. Such attacks could be said to be chaotic and not threatening at all.
On the contrary, after Cassandra appeared, the part of the undead army she controlled displayed great combat strength.
All the skeleton soldiers were arranged in a dense formation, firmly blocking in front of them, forming a dam of bones, causing the undead that drilled out of the ground to be smashed wave after wave on this dam. Under her control, the skeletons on her side could actually fight together. Whenever an enemy rushed up, there would often be three to five skeletons facing them, using the old and rusty weapons in their hands to attack different parts of the enemy's body. Almost in the blink of an eye, the opponent could be chopped into messy dry bones.
Although the skeleton soldiers were the lowest-level undead, and there was nothing surprising about their attack methods, under Cassandra's control, they did not suffer many losses until they cleared all the skeletons that emerged from the ground. This result made Roy sigh in admiration. This art of commanding the undead army seemed to be an innate instinct of liches.
After confirming that no more undead creatures appeared, Roy said in satisfaction, "Let's go. Let's leave this place!"
Everyone set off. But this time, because of Cassandra and her undead army, Roy and the others no longer flew. Everyone sat on Fat Tiger's back and was carried forward by Fat Tiger. The skeleton soldiers and ghosts followed behind Fat Tiger.
Needless to say, the ghosts naturally did not need to be mentioned. The skeleton soldiers only had bones left, so of course, they were very light. So although they were moving forward on foot, the speed of the entire army was not much slower.
Moreover, undead creatures could not eat or drink and would not feel any fatigue, so Roy and the others walked more than a hundred kilometers in the desert in one night.
However, after dawn, they had no choice but to stop. The fact that undead creatures were afraid of sunlight would not change, and it was impossible for the army to advance under the sunlight, so Roy and the others could only stop.
Roy originally wanted to create a frost fortress to block the sunlight, but in the desert environment, the consumption of magic power to do this was too great. In the end, Cassandra volunteered to use magic to create a Curtain of Darkness to block the sunlight and protect the undead army.
Of course, after stopping, Roy and the others did not do nothing. Julia and Fat Tiger each flew in one direction to explore the surroundings. A large number of undead had appeared in the oasis earlier, making Roy believe that there might be other places of death in the desert. Although Cassandra controlled a large number of skeleton soldiers, to be honest, these low-level undead did not have much combat strength. Roy wanted to see if it was possible to find other high-level undead so that Cassandra could control them.
Roy stayed where he was. The Curtain of Darkness was pitch-black smoke. In this smoke, sunlight could not shine in, and Roy felt very comfortable. He also took this time to ask in detail how Cassandra lived after he left the Pirates of the Caribbean world.
Only after asking did he find out that Cassandra had been in the Pirates of the Caribbean world for more than twenty years!
"Master, after you left, I've been staying on Frozen Island!" Cassandra said. "According to the agreement between you and the sea goddess, Tia Dalma, I can't leave the island, but I have the right to deal with all the ships and sailors who mistakenly enter Frozen Island. In the past twenty years, I can't even remember how many people have entered this island. Relying on the souls of these people, my magic power has grown to its current level bit by bit."
Cassandra made it sound simple, but in fact, in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, the reputation of the robed Lich Cassandra had spread all over the world. In addition, according to human rumors, Demon Osiris was still sleeping on Frozen Island, and Lich Cassandra was guarding the treasures of this Lord of Darkness and Cold Winter. With the gold of misfortune that Troy had spread out, people believed that there was still a large amount of gold and wealth on Frozen Island, and this wealth was enough to buy all of England!
Precisely because of this, Frozen Island gradually became a mythical land like the Fountain of Youth. Although there were many people who mistakenly entered Frozen Island because of storms, there were even more greedy people who coveted the demon's wealth. Among these people were pirates, adventurers, and the armies of the colonial governors of various countries. Although Cassandra eventually took away the souls of all the people who arrived on Frozen Island and became unable to return, this forbidden land of death still could not stop the greedy nature of humans. Every year, Cassandra could harvest many souls.
The souls were used to cultivate necromancy and strengthen magic power, while the remains were awakened into an undead army. Now, on Frozen Island, Cassandra was not alone. She controlled a large number of undead troops, and even the church's crusade troops had been repelled by her two or three times …
Cassandra had taken away a large number of souls at sea, and they could not be guided into the Sea of the Dead. Although she had an agreement with Roy, Tia Dalma had no choice but to secretly restrict Frozen Island. Nowadays, there were huge sea storms around Frozen Island all year round, and the weather was indescribably harsh. Tia Dalma used this method to limit people from searching for Frozen Island as much as possible.
Of course, Cassandra would not mention these things to Roy. After all, it would be suspicious of her showing off. But Roy still noticed some clues through questioning. He sensed Cassandra's current magic power level and found that her current magic power level was already at the level of an upper-middle-rank demon. Given some time, she might be able to break through to the high-rank demon level.
At that time, Cassandra would become a lich master … Of course, Roy would not mention these things to Roy.
Of course, Roy was a demon, and the priority of the souls he obtained was naturally himself. He could not give up too many souls for Cassandra to improve. But this was the Heroes of Might and Magic world, and necromancers were unique existences in this world. In history, there were many treasures created by necromancers. If Roy needed to improve Cassandra's strength and let her control as many undead troops as possible, it was the right choice to work on these undead treasures.
For example, the Shield of the Undead, the Skull Crown, the Death Boots, the Staff of the Underworld, the Ring of No Regrets, the Cloak of Death's Shadow, and so on. As long as he could obtain similar treasures and arm Cassandra, she could also become stronger …
Julia and Fat Tiger returned not long after, but they did not discover much in the nearby desert, so Roy did not let them go again. Everyone stayed in the Curtain of Darkness and waited for the night to come.
During this period, Roy began to read the books he had found in the Ulambus library.
Demons were born with the ability to use their magic power. This talent was extremely powerful, and there were even rumors in some worlds that the magic of humans and elves originated from demons.
However, Roy knew very well that this was not the case. The magic power circuits in the bodies of demons belonged to source magic. Demons could be said to be able to use source magic effortlessly, but even demons needed to learn non-source magic.
The mages of Bracada were scholars who specialized in magic, and their research was fruitful. From these books, Roy saw their research on magic power.
Scholars believed that magic power was actually a medium used to communicate and mobilize the various elements that existed in nature to achieve the purpose of using and forming magic. The strength of magic power determined the efficiency of this medium to communicate with the elements. For some powerful magic, if the efficiency of magic power communication was low, they needed to use incantations or rituals to assist …
Roy read these books with relish. Although he did not know the words of this world, with the system in hand, this was not a problem. Roy directly made a Translation Banshee and ate it, and everything was solved …
From today onwards, you can call me Roy A Dream! Roy thought proudly.
Just as Roy was trying to learn some of the magic unique to this world recorded in the books, he did not know that the oasis they had passed by had welcomed a new group of guests …
This group of guests was also an undead army shrouded in the Curtain of Darkness. But unlike the Curtain of Darkness created by Cassandra, the Curtain of Darkness that enveloped the undead army could move with the army! It could be seen that the person who released this Curtain of Darkness was much more brilliant at using this magic than Cassandra.
In the undead army shrouded in the Curtain of Darkness, the composition of the undead was completely different from the skeleton soldiers controlled by Cassandra. In this undead army, not only were there low-level undead like skeleton soldiers and ghosts, but there were also mummies, vampires, death knights, liches, undead, and other high-level undead creatures. The most eye-catching thing was the dozens of enormous bone dragons with tattered wings flying low above the army!
These bone dragons were special undead creatures pieced together from countless dragon skeletons. They were powerful undead creatures at the top of the pyramid of undead creatures. The empty eye sockets of the dragon skeletons burned with the exuberant fire of the dead. Just looking directly into the eyes of these bone dragons could make people feel endless fear.
Not only were there a large number of high-level undead creatures in this undead army, but the scale of the army was also very large. The person leading this undead army with amazing combat power was a Necromancer. He rode an undead warhorse with four hooves filled with the aura of death, and carried a scythe with a skull on his shoulder. He was wearing a black robe and a cloak, and under the hood, there was a huge spider tattoo on the Necromancer's forehead!
Arantir, the strongest death lord recognized by the necromancer nation of Heresh, had appeared in this oasis with his army …
