Early morning.

Peel Town.

It's the start of another beautiful day, but the town of Peel, which has changed hands three times, has become a ruin of blood and ashes.

Blood, bones, weapons, armor, and other traces of the aftermath of the war are scattered throughout the town and the surrounding area.

Half of the town has been reduced to scorched earth - the result of the last night's fierce fighting, when the Nigadian soldiers set the house on fire to stop the undead in pursuit.

The elite Nigadian Crusade with more than 10,000 people has been completely canceled, although there may still be nearly a thousand people who have escaped from Zhao Li's clutches, but none of these people have a high-level nobleman, nor do they have any logistical baggage, and it is really unknown how far they can go in this world full of monster crises.

At the gate of Peel Town, on the head of the huge Scourge's special mount "Undead Bone Kun", Zhao Li was wearing a sleek and conspicuous full-body gold heavy armor, carrying a thick, large and hard hammer on his shoulders, reviewing his "Scourges".

Regarding Zhao Li's current image, it is roughly the appearance of a young version of Dwayne Johnson who is twice as strong and has some scars, and then wears a gold heavy armor similar to the Terran machine gunner in StarCraft (for those who don't know, please Baidu 'machine gunner') - it is the kind of heavy armor that is full coverage, similar to robots, deep diving suits, and spacesuits, and even the back of the head is covered, revealing only a straight face.

Zhao Li's gold "Heavy Armor of the Machine Gunner" was obtained from the cellar of the castle - it was the reward reported by the former Baroness Anna, as well as the gold found from the baggage left behind by other Nigadian nobles, which was refined by Zhao Li after condensing and dissolving them all with magical flames.

Silver can be refined into "Mithril" through magical flames, and gold can of course be refined into "pure gold" through magical flames.

It's just that Mithril is an important material for making monster weapons, and it has excellent magic conductivity, this kind of "pure gold" has no other effect except that it is heavy and hard, and it is not much better than "stainless steel" and "fine iron". Except for Zhao Li, no one will refine any "fine gold".

Of course, Zhao Li's gold "machine gunner with the same heavy armor" absolutely does not contain any high-tech - there are no power assistance systems or the like, not even the simplest mechanical structure, and it is all reckless to be able to wear this heavy armor weighing several tons and move freely.

In front of the golden machine gunner Zhao Li, the Scourge Legion, which numbered nearly 10,000, was neatly arranged into several square formations to be reviewed.

Countless faint eyes burning with blue fire looked at Zhao Li neatly.

The main force of this is, of course, the elite army of Nigad who died in battle last night.

The new warriors who have joined the Scourge look just like they did when they were alive - just ignore their flaming eyes and the horrific wounds and blood stains all over their bodies...

These warriors are the real upstarts of the Scourge Legion now - although they can't be compared to the undead monsters in terms of individual combat ability, these warriors have inherited some of the memories and combat knowledge when they were alive, and once they form a number and are effectively commanded, the power formed will definitely not be much worse than the same number of undead monsters.

Even Zhao Li equipped some elite warriors with war horses - that is, those dead war horses were also resurrected into undead skeleton war horses... Because many of these former Nigadian soldiers were cavalry.

Besides, as a mature and powerful undead scourge legion, how could there be no cavalry?

Each of Zhao Li's five current stick spirits has been assigned a mount - but not ordinary undead skeleton warhorses, but undead minions such as giant ghouls and howling demons.

It stands to reason that except for a few special species such as daytime demons, other pure spirits, whether human souls or spirit-like monsters, are quite afraid of sunlight.

But this is not absolute, but it depends on the strength to speak - for example, the "Ghost Knight", which is recognized as the top monster among the spirit monsters, due to its strong strength, the spirit body is highly condensed into substance, not only can it move freely during the day, but even when it appears in groups, it can make the haunted area covered with shadows and ice and snow.

Now the five stick spirits are riding on the backs of several powerful undead monsters, exposed to the sun, and are being inspected by Zhao Li together.

The deaths of more than 10,000 people last night have made the five stick spirits extraordinarily strong - although they are not strong enough to be as strong as the ghost knights, it is no longer a big problem to resist the sun.

Although the five stick spirits are now under review, they have actually been treated differently - two of them have been released by Zhao Li to move freely, two have been released half of the permission, and one will definitely not let go of any permission.

Zhao Li was given the freedom to move freely, and the two souls who could move freely were Duke Ambury and Earl Roy, and the performance of these two stick spirits in commanding battles and killing their colleagues last night won Zhao Li's trust.

Although it is said that he has been given the permission to act completely freely, Zhao Li can take over control again at any time through Hammer Grief, and observe all the perceptions and thoughts of these two - yes, this is also the confidence that Zhao Li dares to give them free permission.

According to Zhao Li's perception, this Count Roy can already be called a "comrade", and this revenant soul has fallen into the obsessive pursuit of absorbing souls and the power of death.

As for the Duke of Amberly, he was quite conflicted, although he was indeed affected by the pleasure of sucking the soul, and also had the same desire for power, but he was not completely addicted, and there was still a trace of struggle in his heart.

"But it doesn't matter, no one can escape the clutches of the Lord of the Scourge, you will succumb..."

Zhao Li muttered to himself.

The mercenary leaders Sandro and Anna who were released half of the action authority by Zhao Li, no, it should be called Sylvanas now - the so-called half of the action authority means that you can act if you want, but everything will be fed back to Zhao Li, and only after Zhao Li approves it, you can make this action.

According to Zhao Li's perception, Sandro and Anna are still in a state of half-confusion and half-hatred, so for these two, Zhao Li still has to be under surveillance.

As for the one who had no free movement authority and all actions had to be under Zhao Li's control, it was the former Demon Hunter Master Hemswo - this transcendent warrior who had killed countless evil beings not only did not indulge in the pleasure of sucking souls at all, but hated it, this was a true fighter for the righteous camp.
