If the Brutal Sword Death Servants did not fight Mo Fan, they could easily kill a lot of the vanguard Magicians and inflict greater damage to the army. However, when Mo Fan teamed up with the Battlemages, the Brutal Sword Death Servants began to lose their ground!
The Brutal Sword Death Servants were considered the strongest among the undead. They were comparable to thousands of weak undead, yet they were still killed by the army in the end.
The slope was immediately occupied. The Magicians quickly set up a barrier in response.
The barrier of the undead was able to resist the invasion of the undead. As long as the barrier was set up, they would have won the battle.
"Report, the Poisonous Golden Mummy has been eliminated. Commander Wankos is returning to the army. The number of casualties …" a sentry Magician reported to Advisor Fenna.
"Strip Wankos of his rank, he will no longer be an officer," Advisor Fenna said coldly.
Commander Wankos led the injured soldiers back to the barrier at the top of the hill. He was covered in wounds from the poison, and looked quite miserable.
"I don't have any objection to your decision. I'm willing to be a Magician without a rank, just a lowly soldier," Commander Wankos said while half-kneeling.
"You were too impulsive. You might have killed the whole army. You should be glad that you underestimated the students. Without them, we would have paid a greater price to take over the slope," Advisor Fenna scolded him.
"Yeah, without them, my army would have been surrounded by the Poisonous Golden Mummy. I'm grateful that they saved my life and eliminated the Poisonous Golden Mummy. I shouldn't have acted so arrogantly," Wankos said.
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Fenna snapped angrily.
Wankos was confused. If that wasn't what she was talking about, then what was she talking about?
Commander Lowar whispered into Wankos' ear, telling him how Mo Fan had dealt with the Brutal Sword Death Servants.
Wankos' face was filled with disbelief when he heard the news.
Alone?
He had made it to the top of the slope alone and killed seven Brutal Sword Death Servants?
Even the entire East Division would not be able to do it, and that year? An incomparable student mage had done it?
As a matter of fact, Wankos, who was in the army, did not think too highly of a group of Magicians who spent their days peacefully in the school. However, he now realized how wrong he was. These students were as strong as a small army!
"If you continue to stay in the army, this is a battlefield. Any selfishness will only cause our army to be wiped out. Remember this!" General Fenna snapped furiously.
Wankos lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
"A new batch of soldiers will be arriving soon, and the Mages of the temple will be joining them, too. Wankos, you and your men must protect them, even if it means sacrificing your lives. Do you understand!?"
"Understood!" Wankos replied heavily.
The Mages of the Parthenon Temple were a bunch of Healer Elves. They were the irreplaceable souls of an army. With them around, the death rate would greatly decrease, and more people would survive …
Apart from the inevitable victory of the war, what else was more important in this world than living?
…
…
After setting up camp, the special undead barrier seemed to be able to isolate the undead from attacking them.
With the barrier, the undead further away would not swarm toward them. The army soon gained a foothold in the second camp.
The army would rest for a day, allowing the Magicians some time to recover their energy. At the same time, they could also treat those who were seriously injured, or send them back to the city.
The next morning, a new group of people gathered. Among them was the most important group of people, and that was the female sorcerers of the Temple.
These Mages had mastered the strongest Healing Element in the world. They were strong, but weak. Their ability to protect themselves was not impressive, so they needed a lot of manpower to protect them.
When the Mages of the Parthenon Temple arrived, Mo Fan discovered that Xinxia was among them, too. It was beyond Mo Fan's expectation.
After all, Xinxia's legs were not in good condition. A chaotic battlefield like this was a great threat to her life. Mo Fan did not understand why Parthenon would … Why would she join the war!?
After regrouping, the group proceeded to the third camp, which was ten kilometers away from the Pyramid.
The third camp was conquered without a hitch, but when the barrier was set up to isolate the army from the rest of the army, an uneasy feeling lingered in everyone's hearts.
The Wave Pushing Formation was only suitable for the first half of the journey. After all, it was closer to the city, and they were not too deep into the army of undead. However, the second half of the journey was a path of no return. Only by winning the battle would they be safe!
As such, the second half of the journey was the most dangerous. They would be surrounded and resisted by the undead!
"(Sigh), I really don't want to recall the situation when we attacked the Pyramid. We basically stepped on the corpses of our brothers to reach the Pyramid, yet we were almost wiped out. Luckily, General Fenna activated her Burning Light in time to melt the Pyramid. Otherwise, it would be no different from Hell among the sea of undead!" an old Magician exclaimed.
"Is the second half of the journey really that scary?" Zhao Manyan asked seriously, handing him a cigarette.
"Scary isn't enough to describe it, but the scale of the Pyramid this time isn't as big as the previous one, and the army of undead isn't as strong, either. We should have a higher chance of winning!" the old Magician said with squinted eyes while taking a puff of the cigarette. The smoke from the cigarette lingered on his sallow face.
"So it's fine as long as someone reaches the Pyramid?" Mofan could not help but ask.
"That's right. When the time comes, our team will give some people who have a chance to get close to the pyramid. We'll place it under the pyramid and let the light shoot out. It will destroy the illusion of the mirage and make the undead lose their faith in an instant!"
"There should be some powerful undead close to the Pyramid, right?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Of course, but it's just a mirage, after all. The real powerful undead are residing in the real Pyramid, so I don't think there will be any unreasonably powerful Mummy around. However, there's a kind of undead that we need to be extra careful of, "Mudin said.
"What kind of undead?"
"Brutal Sword Death Servants!" the old Magician uttered the name of the undead sternly.
"Are you referring to the undead that were at the top of the slope in the second camp?" Mofan asked.
"Yes!"
Mo Fan could not help but frown. The Brutal Sword Death Servants were indeed strong. He had only managed to kill seven of them despite his ridiculous strength.
"The Brutal Sword Death Servants are the most loyal servants of the Pharaoh that move between and around the Pyramid. Their numbers are huge, and they are well-trained. The mirage is an illusionary Pyramid, so it won't attract the most terrifying undead inside the Pyramid. However, the Brutal Sword Death Servants are a lot harder to deal with than ordinary undead. According to our initial estimation, there are around five hundred Brutal Sword Death Servants close to the mirage. They are basically using the dark swords in their hands to form a barrier of death. Many people are going to die if we try to enter the mirage through these loyal Brutal Sword Death Servants," Mudin let out a sigh.
"Five hundred?" Mofan's heart sank.
The number of undead was ten times the number of the undead at the top of the slope. Even a Super Mage would have trouble dealing with them!
"If there are so many undead nearby when it's just an illusionary Pyramid, doesn't that mean the real Pyramid is the scariest place? Has anyone entered one of the Pyramids before?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.
"Entered one of the Pyramids?" Mudin shook his head with a smile. He subconsciously glanced at General Fenna and said, "General Fenna seems to have entered one of the Pyramids with a few impressive Mages. She didn't mention much about the situation inside. She only said it was the Underworld!"
"They mentioned that the Pharaoh is still alive. Is that true?"
"Pharaoh? I believe anyone who has met the Pharaoh has become a part of the Underworld, so we have no idea if there are still any Pharaoh inside the Pyramids. Therefore, we're not strong enough to deal with the soldiers of the Pharaoh, "Mudin said.
The soldiers of the Pharaoh were none other than the Brutal Sword Death Servants!
If there were really Pharaoh inside the Pyramids, their power would surely be overwhelming, especially the Pharaoh that had existed for a long time. They had already mastered the Magic of Arabia when they were still alive. Their descendants would surely possess great power, too!
"Speaking of which, the three biggest Pyramids in Cairo must contain powerful undead that can topple the world, right?" Jiang Yu asked excitedly.
The Pyramids were famous for their mysteries and power. The most famous one, the Great Pyramid of Giza, was rumored to make even Forbidden Mages pale at the mention of it.
"I don't know much about what happened inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, but the Sphinx is already unbeatable. If he wants to, Cairo is going to be destroyed," the old Mage, Mudin, was willing to share his thoughts.
"The Sphinx? What's that? "Mofan asked.
"The Sphinx, the Guardian Beast of the Pyramids, the strongest creature in Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is still a mystery to this day, because it is protected by the Sphinx. I heard that when the Sphinx roars, even the sky will collapse!" Mudin said.
Mo Fan couldn't help but open his mouth.
The Sphinx … on second thought, it was most likely a guardian beast like the Black Totem Snake!
