Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Based on the information relayed by the demons, Zephyr conducted an in-depth analysis and judgment of the cause of this time storm.

　He believed that the storm was caused by the necromancer losing control while conducting a magical experiment.

　After all, spellcasters' magical experiments have always been a "four-high" project: high risk, high investment, high threshold, and high return.

　Every now and then, news would come that some mages had died due to failed experiments.

　This time, Zephyr also believes that the necromancer may not have died directly from the time storm caused by the magical experiment, but he may have been severely injured and greatly weakened.

Chapter 602 The War Breaks Out Again and Their Actions

　Having firmly believed that the necromancer had been severely damaged in his magical experiments, the Soul Lord Zephyr began to carry out a bold, almost insane plan.

　He planned to take advantage of the necromancer's declining power to launch a surprise attack and eliminate the biggest obstacle in his path to becoming a true demon lord.

　To ensure the successful eradication of the necromancers entrenched in the former territory of the six-armed serpent lord Modisti, Zephyr began to mobilize all available resources.

　He not only summoned the main force of his demon legion, but also activated his long-treasured magical treasures and spell scrolls for any eventuality.

　At the same time, He also actively contacted the other four lesser demon lords.

　Although the four lesser demon lords have not yet entered the realm of demigods, their powerful combat strength, which is enough to shake the realm of demigods, will undoubtedly increase the chances of success for Zefer's plan.

　With the Soul Lord stepping forward, the other four lesser demon lords whose territories bordered the necromancer's territory naturally wouldn't refuse.

　In their view, this was a golden opportunity.

　This would allow them to both glean information about the necromancer Moros and gain personal benefits.

　Once it is confirmed that the necromancers' power has been greatly reduced due to the magical experiments, they will not hesitate to mobilize their demon armies and join forces with Zephyr to divide up the necromancers' territory.

　However, if the necromancer's strength is not greatly affected, these four lesser demon lords will also assess the situation and will not blindly confront the undead legion under Moros's command.

　After all, in the brutal competition of the Abyss, the threat of other lesser demon lords cannot be ignored.

　It could even be said that, compared to necromancers who have not yet touched the secrets of immortality, those lesser demon lords who are also Tanaris are more worthy of our attention and vigilance.

　Zephyr was well aware of the schemes and plans of the other four lesser demon lords.

　In fact, He also had such a plan.

　If he is truly unable to deal with the necromancer, this powerful Soul Lord will decisively adjust his strategy and turn his attention to the lesser demon lords who are adjacent to his territory and are relatively weaker, launching a sudden attack.

　Zephyr believed that as long as he could cleverly use the necromancers to weaken the neighboring lords in the upcoming war, and with the tactical surprise of a surprise attack, he was fully confident that he could take the opportunity to eliminate one or two potential contenders for the position of Demon Lord of the 406th Abyss Layer.

　While it cannot compare to the unparalleled efficiency of the undead legion, it is still superior in terms of resource replenishment.

　With a massive demand from the mortal army, the demons' mobilization capabilities can be described as highly efficient.

　After all, the demon legion's supply resources were pitifully scarce.

　Weapons and equipment?

　Demons are born with it.

　Their sharp teeth and claws, along with their innate magical abilities, are their most powerful weapons and armor.

　Logistics and supplies?

　Those low-level demons who serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield are, in a sense, a food resource themselves.

　In the bottomless abyss where the living environment is extremely harsh, the only food for demons is naturally other demons.

　Especially those lesser demons who haven't yet advanced to the level of cowardice.

　Their role in the demon legion is less that of cannon fodder and more that of mobile food reserves.

　Under these exceptionally favorable conditions, the troop assembly efficiency of the Soul Lord Zephyr undoubtedly reached an astonishing level.

　Within just three days of reaching an agreement with the other four lesser demon lords, Zefer's vanguard of demon legions had already stormed into the necromancer's territory and annihilated the patrol forces that Moros had deployed in the border region.

　This is nothing to be surprised about.

　The necromancer was acutely aware that without legendary undead units to lead the way, the undead army would be utterly powerless against the demon legions under the command of those lesser demon lords.

　Therefore, he never expected that the patrols deployed on the border would be able to delay the enemy's advance.

　In Moros's view, the purpose of the patrol force was to provide early warning when other lesser demon lords led their armies to invade.

　For a necromancer who has established a spiritual link with his undead forces, this task can be performed by any undead unit.

　That's why Moros wouldn't throw those precious high-ranking undead into such a high-risk, low-return cannon fodder role.

　Without the presence of high-ranking undead, it was only natural that patrol forces composed entirely of low- to mid-ranking undead would be completely crushed and wiped out when faced with the iron hooves of the demon legion.

　And now, the patrol forces he deployed in the border region have brilliantly fulfilled the mission he initially assigned them—

　They gave their lives to sound the alarm for necromancers.

　The sudden rupture of numerous mental links in a short period of time made Moros realize clearly that war had already broken out.

　Fortunately, he had foreseen the current situation when the spell experiment went out of control and the chaotic time storm raged.

　Therefore, the moment the warning signal came, Moros did not hesitate to issue the order to attack to the undead forces that had already secretly assembled.

　He was determined to take the initiative and dismantle the demon legions under the command of the five lesser demon lords, including the Soul Lord Zephyr, one by one.

　Bottomless Abyss, 406th Abyss Layer, west of the Necromancer's territory.

　Under the strange and profound light of the abyss purple moon, Moros personally commanded a massive undead army and took the initiative to approach a minor demon lord who was leading his demon legion to invade his territory.

　Admittedly, the spell experiment on the legendary spell [Time Warp Field] eventually went out of control, triggering a terrifying time storm that swallowed his meticulously constructed temporary spell workshop.

　But this unexpected turn of events also removed the shackles from Moros's shoulders, freeing him from having any place he had to defend to the death.

　In this situation, Moros naturally had to take advantage of his mobility and preemptively strike before the invading lesser demon lords could fully react, aiming to severely damage or even annihilate some of the enemies.

　With his profound knowledge of demonology, the necromancer has a deep and clear understanding of the nature of the demons in the abyss.

　Only by utterly defeating them in this battle and deeply imprinting his majesty in the hearts of those lesser demon lords can he solidify his position in this cruel and chaotic bottomless abyss, thereby securing a relatively stable external environment for his subsequent magical research.

　The first target of the necromancer was a high-level legendary lord with extreme strength.

Chapter 603 Clash between the Undead Legion and the Demon Legion

　The battle broke out on a vast plain on the western side of the necromancer's territory.

　In the eerie light cast by the purple moon in the abyss, the undead army and the demon legion clashed fiercely, sparking terrifying clashes.

　"Launch all missiles! Immediately deploy the Honkai Energy Fission Bombs!"

　Standing on the bridge of the Charon-class light frigate, the necromancer, dressed in the full [Death Embrace Set], calmly surveyed the battle situation.

　Even after witnessing firsthand the warship's onboard firepower unleashing wave after wave of explosions within the demon legion, claiming the lives of over 100,000 demons, he still did not issue the order to advance.

　Moros understood perfectly well that although the previous barrage of fire had inflicted heavy casualties on the demon army, it was merely the prelude to this battle.

　Therefore, he only

　The command was issued via a mental link to the mage corps attached to the undead army—the Great Lich Mage Corps.

　Combined Spell: Cloud of Death!

　A foul, yellowish-green cloud, precisely controlled by the Grand Lich Sorcerer Corps, crashed into the ranks of demons who were still reeling from the firepower of the Charon-class light frigates, instantly causing the fall of thousands upon thousands of demons.

　Only then did the lesser demon lord who commanded the demon legion awaken from his daze and roar.

　"Charge! Kill all the enemies ahead!"

　Wielding the two-handed greatsword in his hand, heavily enchanted and gleaming with magical light, the Temptress Lord gave the order to his demon army to attack.

　Without the slightest hesitation, the already restless demons surged forward like a tidal wave towards the location of the undead army.

　In just a few breaths, they clashed with a massive number of undead creatures, engaging in a brutal battle.

　Whether they are demons or devils, most of them possess teleportation-like magical abilities.

　Since Moros did not deliberately seal off the space, the demons were naturally able to use these spell-like abilities to quickly break into the undead army's formation.

　The necromancer was well aware of this.

　In fact, this is exactly the situation he had hoped for.

　Moros knew very well that he would not easily join the battle unless the opposing lesser demon lord saw any hope of victory.

　If this lesser demon lord, who possesses combat power at the initial demigod level, were to have a change of heart and attempt to escape under the cover of the demon legion, then Moros, as a necromancer whose actual combat power is only equivalent to that of an ordinary demigod, would find it difficult to ensure that he could completely annihilate him.

　This was clearly something Moros did not want to see.

　In the cruel environment of the bottomless abyss, the lives of demons are worthless.

　Unless they are high-ranking legendary demon overseers or legendary archdemons, even high-ranking demons are nothing more than high-level cannon fodder that can be recruited in a few days in the eyes of lesser demon lords.

　Therefore, in order to annihilate the Temptress Lord who was commanding the battle in the center of the demon army, Moros had to find a way to lure Him into sending those precious demon overseers and archdemons into the battlefield.

　Of course, it would be even better if the Temptress Lord could suppress his bloodlust and choose to join the battle himself.

　To push the situation in this direction, the necromancer needs to further intensify the battle.

　Allowing the demons to use teleportation spells to break into the undead army's formation was one of his carefully planned and extremely effective strategies.

　Ignoring the high-ranking demons who were wreaking havoc among the undead army, and the mid-ranking demons who followed closely behind the high-ranking demons, using teleportation spells to break into the undead army's formation and were subsequently surrounded and annihilated by countless undead soldiers, the necromancer, who had already made his plans, calmly issued a new command.

　"Knights, charge!"

　He was determined to add more weight to the cruel scales of war, to make the flames of battle burn even more fiercely.

　At Moros's command, an undead knight order composed entirely of death knights silently launched a charge.

　Almost in the blink of an eye, this undead knight order, which would be considered powerful in any prime material plane, slew tens of thousands of demons that it was fighting against.

　However, even in the bottomless abyss, the knight's charge is not so difficult to withstand.

　Amidst the roar of the Temptress Lord, the main force of the demon legion, composed of many high-ranking demons such as the Balor Flame Demon, the Six-Armed Serpent Demon, and the Soul Judge Demon, was deployed to the battlefield.

　These extremely powerful high-ranking demons, led by the demon overseer and the archdemon, launched a fierce counterattack against the Death Knights.

　Faced with the counterattack of the main force of the demon legion, the Death Knights demonstrated their astonishing offensive power as powerful undead warriors, second only to the Ghost Dragon in the undead legion.

　In the instant of the clash, the corpses of both sides that fell were almost evenly matched.

　Unfortunately, these death knights, clad in jet-black knight armor and resembling the embodiment of death, were ultimately only level six units, with inherent limitations in their strength.

　Even with the necromancer's high [Attack] attribute bonus of 37 points and [Defense] attribute bonus of 79 points, the power they can display is already close to its limit.

　As the battle continued, the ferocious attacks of high-ranking demons such as the Balrog and the Six-Armed Serpent Demon began to reveal their true power.

　Although the Death Knights continued to charge into battle fearlessly, striving for precision and lethality with every swing, their attacks gradually became pale and powerless in the face of the high-level demons' almost indestructible defense and terrifying attacks.

　Conversely, the demons' sharp claws and destructive magic began to tear gaps in the Death Knights' formation.

　Once they lose the protection of their formation, given the vast disparity in strength between the Death Knights and the high-ranking demons, they will suffer a devastating blow in a very short time.

　The necromancer who commanded the battle was certainly aware of this.

　But for the sake of victory in the battle, for the annihilation of that seductive demon lord, this

　That was the price he had to pay.

　Only a year has passed since the thrilling battle with the six-armed serpent lord, Modisti.

　During this period, the number of demon souls that Moros could collect and accumulate was extremely limited compared to his current urgent needs.

　According to the necromancer's estimate, even if he used his soul reserves to their fullest extent, he could only support him in annihilating two or three lesser demon lords.

　However, Moros had a grander goal in mind—he wanted to use this battle to completely intimidate his restless neighbors.

　To achieve this, he needs to eliminate at least four lesser demon lords.

　The difference is precisely what he must make up by relying on spells that do not consume his soul reserves.

　Seeing that the Death Knights were gradually getting into a tough fight, Moros did not take immediate action.

　He knew that the real battle had just begun, and he needed to maintain his condition before the Temptress Lord left the arena.

Chapter 604 The Temptress Lord Takes Action Personally

　Without a doubt, the demon legions are the most troublesome legion battle opponent Moros has ever encountered.

　none of them!

　Even the Honkai Beast Legion, personally commanded by the Herrscher, paled in comparison to the Demon Legion, overseen by a Lesser Demon Lord.

　This was not due to any other factors, but purely because of the absolute advantage of the demon legion in both quantity and quality.

　Since the start of the battle, in just half an hour, the demon legion has suffered more than one million casualties.

　Among these enormous casualties, more than a dozen powerful demons, whose strength far surpassed that of Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, tragically perished.
