Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 723 - 67: Forming an Alliance · The Dwarven Army of 4,000 as Permanent Reinforcements

Then Su Li said, "My mighty Divine Chosen Knight, stop complaining. If you don’t want to go to the dwarves, I have a new place arranged for you. I guarantee it’s filled with enchanting perfume scents and the sweet fragrance of spices everywhere."

"Really?" Demster immediately grew interested, dropping to one knee with a thud as his knee struck the stone slab. Placing his left hand on his chest, he pleaded to Su Li, "This place is perfect for me. Let me go, my lord. Where is this place full of fragrance and honey? It’s best if there are also a group of beautiful ladies as alluring as Desire Demons, to help replenish my vitality."

"You know, even though I am a Divine Chosen of Mole, we Mole followers despise the undead the most. I feel like the undead presence has made my body listless, desperately needing relaxation to boost my vitality."

This is what you asked for yourself. With a slight smile on his lips, Su Li said, "Rest assured, there are girls more beautiful than Desire Demons waiting to interact passionately with you. Chief Steward Hilude will personally take you there shortly."

His raven ability allows him to entangle with the Desire Demons to the fullest extent. Back when facing the Red Dragon Drake, he managed to hold his ground for quite a while. In fact, no one in the territory is more suitable for entering the Seductive Demon Realm alone than he is.

There are currently four Divine Chosen Knights in the territory, and Hilude is definitely not going, as she’s the cornerstone of Su Li’s rule.

Marshal Orstein is leading the army in expanding the territories on the west side, so he can’t go to the Seductive Demon Realm either.

Medical Knight Commander Dietrich has to take charge of the territory’s medical and healing efforts, naturally making him unfit to go to the Seductive Demon Realm.

So, without question, Demster is the best choice.

Upon hearing Su Li’s promise, Demster contentedly rose from the ground and then reported on his findings since separating from the territory: "My lord, that ancient castle you arranged, I’ve thoroughly explored it. The greatest find inside is the rare-level item, Ainir’s Magic Net."

Su Li received the Bright Magic Net from his hand; this item is actually powerful. It binds the evil female vampire, making her body extraordinarily sensitive, which is just one of its most famous effects.

Some rather perverted lords enjoy experiencing the vampire feel and then use this to bind the female vampire’s body to play with her from behind. Experiencing the ultimate sensitivity of the female vampire, whose body structure differs from that of human women.

However, this item is also incredibly powerful on the battlefield. It can bind enemy units, immobilizing them, making it convenient for one’s cannons and archers to concentrate fire.

If the item had been available against Khorne’s Chosen, the casualties would certainly not have been so severe.

Then Demster continued with his report, "At the same time, we purified the dwarven Ancestral Holy Tomb. It was desecrated by the Night Wanderer Corpse from the Gray Mountain Range, which wander across the lands near the Gray Mountain Range in many groups. It’s rumored that when both moons appear as crescents, somewhere at the foot of the Gray Mountains will crack open. The master of the Night Wanderer Corpse, Old Jasper, will emerge there in a carriage. His corpse cart’s great bell will summon the dead to his side, no matter where they lie."

"The group that desecrated the Grey Rock Tribe’s ancestral tomb was one of their complete Night Wanderer Corpses. The main force included 1 Corpse Demon Champion Muhawa riding a skeletal horse, 1 envoy riding a corpse cart, 5 Corpse Demons, 1 Death Choir, and over 200 Desolate Tomb Guards and Black Warriors."

"Moreover, in battle, they could also tap into their master Old Jasper’s black magic abilities. Even though I brought the territory’s High-level Directly Affiliated Attendants, it took a bloody battle to finally drive them away."

"Just drive them away?" Su Li asked with a frown.

Speaking of powerful and evil black magic, even Demster, with his frivolous and humorous character, became serious: "These wicked undead mages use black magic to manipulate the bones and soul fragments of the dead, keeping the undead creatures under their control. Their Resurrection Technique always manages to summon those servants back. And with each revival, these monsters accumulate the experience of previous battles, becoming even more powerful."

The undead units in this world are indeed quite different from other worlds. They’re not skeleton soldiers the undead mages casually pull out from the grave mounds, but many are servants linked and controlled by black magic. This also leads some powerful monsters to backfire on their masters. For instance, the Black Akhan broke free from control and turned against its creator.

So, in this world, the measure of an undead mage’s true power is determined only by the amount of magic power it possesses, not by the size of their Sea of the Dead.

Because the more black magic energy an undead creature receives, the more stable its control becomes. Its whole body shines with black magic energy, enhancing strength, speed, martial arts, and other aspects, while also making it more ruthless and swift.

If an undead mage is unwilling to invest too much black magic into a troop, that troop usually remains relatively unstable. Typically, such troops are cannon fodder and vanguard forces brought forth by undead mages, such as zombies, skeleton soldiers, and ghouls. They stagger and move slowly, easily turned to dust. Usually, a single strike from an armed attendant can sever the black magic connection, quickly dispersing any flesh or undead energy sustaining them, leaving them as nothing but a wisp of decaying dust.
