As you wish.

Sister Bi, what kind of troops do you possess? They seem extraordinarily formidable.

Having evaded the clutches of peril, Sun Shia Sha relaxed, and upon discovering that Bayou is indeed a formidable figure from Crab Yellow Fort, she transformed into an avid admirer.

Undead.

Undead.

I believe I have encountered that term in novels.

Is it akin to spirits? Being merely a middle school student, Sun Sha Shao was accustomed to mingling with peers at school, and her exposure to television and literature was limited, leaving her somewhat perplexed regarding the true nature of the undead.

You may indeed interpret it thus, "Sister Bai, might I visit your castle?" Son Shia Sha inquired earnestly, her curiosity about everything concerning the esteemed figure evident.

Upon becoming a territory lord, technically speaking, there were no significant distinctions between Sun Sha Sha and Bayou's troops.

She naturally belonged to Bayou's castle and could freely traverse its grounds.

Let us wait until the battle concludes.

Chapter 56.

The slaughter of the goblins.

Bayou turned to observe the battlefield where the goblins and the undead were engaged in fierce combat.

At that moment, Sun Sha Sha finally shifted her gaze from Bayou, turning to face the chaotic scene behind them.

Standing beside Bayou, Sun Sha Sha could detect the faint, delicate fragrance that enveloped her companion, while her peripheral vision caught sight of Bayou s exquisitely beautiful profile.

Truly, the disparity was striking.

The prowess and beauty of a formidable figure like Bayou left son Shia Sha feeling inconsequential in comparison.

Bayou stood calmly at the edge of the battlefield, exuding an air of tranquility that starkly contrasted with Sun Sha Sha as anxious demeanor.

Despite her unease, Sun Shia Sha attempted to maintain a facade of composure while remaining close to Bayou.

Should any foolhardy goblin dare to attack Bayou, they would swiftly find themselves repelled by a fireball conjured by her.

Bayu noted that most of the goblins were of ordinary rank with only the robust lead goblin surrounded by the undead and an adjacent goblin sorcerer being of the commanding tier.

For the sake of convenience, Bayu referred to the lead goblin as the big brute.

This colossal creature lacking any means of aerial defense was essentially a target for the bone dragons.

The goblin sorcerer, however, possessed some skill.

Not only could he unleash fireballs, but he could also summon a protective barrier that upon landing created a shock wave to shield nearby allied goblins.

This was a commendable support ability, albeit limited, as the barrier would shatter after absorbing a certain amount of damage, proving ineffective against the undead had there not been two commanding goblins among this group.

And if none of us undead possessed commanding ranks, the goblins would have met their demise long ago.

summon the Lord of the Wraiths.

Bayou instructed the gargoyle that had recently served as her mount.

The gargoyle immediately took flight.

It was not that Bayou was reluctant to call upon another commanding skeleton.

Rather, she found the latter's sluggishness in movement to be a hindrance.

By the time it arrived, the opportunity would have long passed.

"Wait, that large goblin seems to be charging towards us.

" Sunshaw exclaimed as the big brute, having noticed by you and son Shia Sha, observing the fry, broke through the undead ranks and advanced menacingly in their direction with commanding attributes.

The brute bulldozed through any undead that obstructed its path, even enduring the mental assaults of the king's souls.

Bolstered by the shield provided by the goblin sorcerer as it charged forward, defying the flames of the bone dragons.

What a reckless hero.

Step aside.

Bayu called out gently pushing Sun Sha Sha back while stepping forward herself, raising her right hand with her palm directed toward the brute.

Do you think it is nightfall? You have chosen the wrong adversary.

A magical circle materialized on the ground before the brute.

Perfectly sized to encompass it.

Oblivious or perhaps undaunted, the big brute stepped into the magical formation.

Once fully within, fire elements coalesed rapidly, and a colossal pillar of flame erupted, completely engulfing the brute.

Bayou's magical energy diminished at a visibly alarming rate.

Swiftly, the sorcerer of the goblins found that the protective barrier around the robust figure shattered instantaneously due to an overwhelming influx of damage.

The entire form of the giant was engulfed in flames.

Yet through sheer physical resilience and defensive prowess, he withtood the magic cast by by you.

However, a few strands of hair at top his head were singed away.

And perhaps it was not merely the hair that suffered.

The giant boldly stepped out of the magical circle, and as he was about to breach its confines, Bayou clenched her small hand into a fist.

A dark hue swiftly permeated the once fiery red magic circle, transforming the flames that erupted into eerie black fire.

The giant, now seared by this strange flame, let out a gut-wrenching howl and collapse to the ground.

The black flames, having manifested for but a fleeting moment, dissipated almost immediately, for the expenditure of Bayou's magical energy was exceedingly vast.

In that brief moment, her reserves were nearly depleted.

As the flames receded, the giant knelled on the ground, wailing in agony with black fire consuming him from various parts of his body, rendering him in excruciating torment.

No means could extinguish this uncanny black flame.

"Incredible," Son Sha Sha observed as Bayu unleashed a skill with such grace and power.

The giant was evidently the leader among the goblins, yet he had been so effortlessly subdued by by you single strike.

Son Sha Sha felt that if the giant were to land a blow upon her, she would surely be reduced to mere pulp.

Arthur, deliver the finishing blow.

Bayu called out to Arthur in the sky.

If Arthur were to slay the giant, both he and Bayou would gain experience.

Should Bayu do it herself? Only she would benefit.

A rather unwise tradeoff, especially since she was nearly out of magical power.

Upon hearing Bayou's command, Arthur unleashed a breath of shadowy dragon fire.

Just as the spectral flames were about to descend upon the giant, Byu withdrew the black flames that enveloped him.

The severely wounded giant, noticing the absence of the black flames, attempted to rise and flee, but Arthur's breath of fire followed swiftly, leaving him no time to react.

He was instantaneously encased in ice, his very soul extinguished.

Your unit has successfully slain a level one goblin berserker, earning 120 experience points.

All done.

and he is dead," Bayu remarked to son Sha Sha, who finally exhaled in relief.

In the distance, the goblin mage, witnessing the ease with which the goblin berser was vanquished by the white-haired girl, immediately commenced its escape.

Lacking the physical might and defense of the berserker, and armed only with a fireball spell and a protective incantation, it was illequipped to navigate the perilous situation.

Even with magical prowess, its energy would inevitably Wayne.

At that moment, the distant gargoyle returned, accompanied by the formidable Lord of the Abyssal Souls.

Efficient indeed, the Lord of the Abyssal Souls remarked, spotting the strongest goblin mage among its Kim below.

Observing the goblin mage's attempt to flee, the lord invoked its own skill, soul curse.

A chain of black essence forged from soul power, surged towards the goblin mage.

Despite his fervent desire to flee, the goblin mage remained vigilant, keenly observing his surroundings.

Upon witnessing the assault from the Lord of souls, he unhesitatingly cast a protective spell upon himself.

However, to his astonishment, the black chain proved to be intangible, effortlessly penetrating his magical barrier and striking him directly.

The goblin mage felt as if his very soul were being torn aunder.

As a sorcerer among goblins, he could no longer be oblivious to the fact that this was a formidable mental attack.

He coughed up a spray of green blood, splattering it against his own shield, and subsequently collapsed to the ground, devoid of life as the magical barrier dissipated.

Impressive, mused by you, a hint of surprise evident in his voice.

This is indeed a commanding level of mental assault.

Chapter 57.

Almost socially dead, the Goblin Shaman had been vanquished by the Lord of the Soul, likely due to the shaman's frail constitution, which rendered it susceptible to a swift demise.

Yet, should not the mental fortitude of sorcerers be formidable? Unbeknownst to many, the goblin shaman had long exhausted its magical reserves, desperately depleting its mental energy to wield spells at a time when its spirit was particularly vulnerable.

Thus, the Lord of the Soul and adept at soul attacks dispatched the unfortunate goblin shaman in a single strike.

Son Shia Sha observed in astonishment as the two mightiest goblins fell so easily with the Lord of the Souls intervention.

The ordinary goblins were rendered even more defenseless, easily dispatched by a mere mental assault.

Moreover, unlike other undead, these spectral beings possessed innate intelligence, making command by Bayou effortless.

Ensure we leave a few alive, Bayou commanded, and the undead understood, commencing a relentless slaughter of the goblins.

Suddenly, Bayou felt as if a veil had been torn, indicating her ascent to the rank of commander.

Cursed timing.

Sun Sha Sha, standing nearby, noticed Bayou's peculiar behavior.
