Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 1004: Chapter 613: Gold Boom, Real Power Commander, Codename [Calamity]_2

Therefore, whether considering safety or cost-efficiency, Fang Zhou is not in a hurry to summon all his Undead Army under him immediately.

For him, the most urgent task at present is to summon his loyal, talented Tomb Undead leaders such as Tidamia, Sain, and Leblanc into the Blood War Furnace and enhance them to the Golden Tier.

This way, he would no longer be alone in the Blood War Furnace.

Moreover, when he previously pressed the Corpse Witch Lord Murphite and Bone Dragon Uriel, he signed the Blood Moon Contract with them, promising to help them advance to the Golden Tier.

He can also take this opportunity to plan on fully integrating these two powerful undead into the Tomb system.

Having clarified the direction of his future actions, Fang Zhou paid another 20,000 Blood Moon Coins to extend his spiritual insight time by 20 minutes.

Subsequently, with a large consumption of Soul Power, inspiration surged within Fang Zhou’s Soul Fire, his wisdom flowing fully as he fell into a prolonged state of enlightenment.

...........

Half an hour later, as the Blood Moon Mark in Fang Zhou’s hand vanished, he was instantly transported by an irresistible force to the outside of the Blood Moon Observatory.

In front of him was still the poker face of the Golden Tier Corpse Witch, but Fang Zhou laughed heartily thrice and turned to leave.

This time, his insights at the Blood Moon Observatory yielded astonishingly great gains.

He consumed a third of his assets and a massive amount of Soul Power, paying a heavy price, but the gains were enough to satisfy him.

Fang Zhou successfully deduced a feasible method to help his Tomb Undead leaders and Blood Spirit Guards under him advance to the Golden Tier based on his own evolutionary path.

Not to mention that after being accepted by the undead will of the Blood War Furnace, Fang Zhou found that summoning the Tomb Undead of the Wasteland of Strife to fight for him significantly reduced Soul Power consumption and greatly extended the duration.

With a loyal undead army ready to go through fire and water for him, Fang Zhou naturally had a greater guarantee of safety in Tusk City and even the Wailing Blood Plain.

All he needs next is to acquire sufficient advancement materials, and Fang Zhou can proceed to complete the Golden advancement ceremony for his undead leaders.

With less than eighty thousand Blood Moon Coins as his base funds, Fang Zhou may only have enough for one Tomb Undead Leader’s advancement.

After some consideration, Fang Zhou gritted his teeth and decided to summon some middle and low-tier undead resources produced in the Tomb Territory to sell to the Blood Moon Merchant Trist.

Although in the high-energy plane of the Blood War Furnace, these middle and low-tier undead resources below the Silver level won’t fetch good prices, they are enough for Fang Zhou to accumulate a significant amount of initial startup capital.

Once he has enough resources, and can advance more undead to the Golden Level, Fang Zhou can rely on his strength to establish a virtuous cycle of wealth growth and power expansion.

With the development plan clarified, Fang Zhou energetically headed towards Trist’s merchant group camp.

Next, he still has to bargain with this bloated vampire, trying to exchange those middle and low-tier undead resources for as many Blood Moon Coins as possible.

..........

Meanwhile, while Fang Zhou’s Blood Spirit Lord Clone was engaged in a verbal duel trading Blood Moon Coins with the Blood Moon Merchant Trist, the Undead Mage’s main body finally welcomed a long-awaited epic battle.

After secretly reorganizing for over half a month, the Dawn Legion’s command staff organized the soul enemy awakening ceremony for all sub-Golden rank officers in the legion in batches.

Out of concern for the morale, those who successfully awakened their soul enemy skills kept a low profile.

On the surface, everything appeared calm.

Fang Zhou did not go to Major General Ning Danxin to inquire about how many traitors or insiders had been identified.

From the decisive actions of the command staff, everything seemed well under control.

What Fang Zhou was more concerned about was the undead attribute Silver-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasure [Evil Spirit Puree] promised as a reward for his task in the Demon Crocodile Swamp exploration by the Dawn Legion’s command staff, which was finally in his possession!

With this resource, along with the [Blood Moon Stone] previously gifted by Major General Ning Danxin, Fang Zhou only needs to obtain [Heart of the Nether River] and [Flower of Soul Ash] to start crafting the Silver-grade Potential Potion.

.........

And after this internal reorganization of the Dawn Legion, the Hell Pit Fortress offense, delayed for more than half a month, resumed.

The First Combat Master led by Major General Ning Danxin, as the most elite force, naturally served as the vanguard.

Fang Zhou, under the unified allocation of the command staff, left the rear line and the Mage Corps responsible for collective casting.

From his previous achievement of slaying the Golden Middle Rank Hydra Giant Crocodile Monarch during the swamp exploration task, Fang Zhou’s extraordinary individual combat power was deemed too excessive to be placed in the collective action of the Mage Corps, hindering the full play of his destructive capabilities.

After careful consideration and risk assessment, and consulting with Major General Ning Danxin for feedback, Fang Zhou willingly accepted the command staff’s order to join the most challenging First Battle Group.

As a Silver Upper Rank Lieutenant Colonel, Fang Zhou could at least serve as the commander of a thousand-man team.

If placed in a weaker force like the Beast Fighting City Legion, he could even be exceptionally promoted to the commander of a ten-thousand-man battle group.

However, due to Fang Zhou’s lack of large-scale troop command experience and records, after comprehensive evaluation, the command staff assigned only 1000 men under his command as a battalion leader.

Considering Fang Zhou’s extremely formidable individual combat power, this battalion wasn’t a regular combat formation but a Special Operations formation, commonly known as a Special Ops battalion.

With Major General Ning Danxin’s care, these 1000 warriors are elite troops even in the entire Dawn Legion.

Among them, 700 are strong Black Iron Upper Rank warriors, only one step away from Bronze Lower Rank.

The remaining 200 are Bronze-grade military elites.

There are also more than 10 Silver Powerhouses, most of them familiar faces to Fang Zhou.

Members of the vanguard squad whom Fang Zhou befriended during the swamp exploration mission were transferred under his command.

Zhuo Yue, Qu Shuang, and others, while geniuses in their respective professions, were no match for Fang Zhou.

However, Leng Feng’s support was invaluable.

Whether it was his formidable personal strength at the Silver Limit or his years of valuable special ops command experience in the Dawn Legion, all these can effectively help Fang Zhou quickly integrate with his troops.

Including Fang Zhou’s vast Artificial Undead Legion, his battalion is undoubtedly the most powerful among all thousand-strong battalions within the Dawn Legion.

As the commander of the Special Ops battalion, Fang Zhou could give his unit a distinctive codename.

Naturally, Fang Zhou followed his habit from challenging the Simulation Battlefield at the Sea City Military Academy, naming this battalion the [Calamity Team].

Commander of the Dawn Legion’s First Combat Master’s First Battle Group’s Calamity Team, Lieutenant Colonel Fang Zhou—this is Fang Zhou’s current identity and position.

Departing from the Mage Corps to become an independent special operations unit commander was a crucial position adjustment for Fang Zhou.

As Fang Zhou’s strength and military rank increased, he could gradually rise from a battalion leader to a battle group leader and even a Combat Master leader.

If he can smoothly break through to the Legendary Crown level, becoming a standalone Legion Commander wasn’t just a daydream.

After getting acquainted with the command structure of the Calamity Team, Fang Zhou began to shape his first troop according to his style.

Fortunately, with the strong cooperation of familiar faces like Leng Feng and Zhuo Yue, the integration process was going smoothly.

As the great battle loomed, not a second could be wasted.

..........

Half a month later, on the vast plains of the Hell Pit Fortress, flags filled the sky, and war drums shook the heavens!

Over a hundred thousand vanguard troops of the Dawn Legion were arrayed in formation nearly a kilometer away from the Hell Pit Fortress, the sight covering the sky and the earth, their presence overwhelming.

The soldiers, fully armed and densely packed as far as the eye could see, stood silently, their formations revealing an imposing strictness marked by an ocean of weapons.
