Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 134: The Witch Killing Union (2)
The three witch kings were pressing forward step by step, expanding their sphere of influence. The area that could be sensed was decreasing day by day, but I could only silently pay attention to their actions. At least for now, I had no ability to fight back, which seemed so helpless. I had just fought a "War of the Dead" with heavy losses, and I really didn't have enough strength to deal with the strong advance of the three witch kings. At this time, rashly taking the initiative to go to war with them would undoubtedly be a dead end, which would play into the hands of the three witch kings. The result could only be to accelerate the process of destruction. It was estimated that the best case scenario would be like Xiaobai, ending up with a miserable end of being forcibly expelled from the country. All I could do was to seize the time to subdue more corpse witches and establish my own power as soon as possible. Other territories were not important for the time being, and they could be recaptured after being occupied, but the area around the "blood pool" must not be lost, and could not fall into the control of others, so as not to threaten the newly enthroned blood lich Temur, and be overthrown by other forces before I could get any benefits.
In addition to the "blood pool" that must be protected, there is another reason why I cannot escape the struggle with the three witch kings. After investigation , there is only one "blood pool" within the sphere of influence of the fourth witch king. The other target I am eager to visit, the "bottomless abyss" ranked second among the four forbidden places, is not among them. I think it is located in the territory of the other three witch kings. With the current tense relationship of opposition and hostility, I think they will not allow me to peacefully enter their territory for "investigation and visit". In the end, I can only use force to solve the problem. A single move can affect the whole body. I just killed an unpopular fourth witch king and replaced him, but it turned out to be like stirring up a hornet's nest, causing the three witch kings to rise up. They think too highly of me. How could they have expected that the dignified witch king would be a "lone commander" and that the other three witch kings would have such a fierce reaction? I really don't know what their purpose is. Is it because they clearly know the nature of us undead wizards, in order to prevent trouble before it happens, so they suppress me in advance and prevent me from developing and threatening their rule?
At this point, no matter how much I complain, it will not help. Rapid expansion of power is the first priority. Originally, my strength was enough to easily subdue the Corpse Witch King. Now that I have become the fourth Witch King, I can "enlighten" them even more easily, without any effort, and the speed of expansion is not slow. In addition to using my terror knights to "hunt", find the groups with Corpse Witch Kings, surround them and subdue them one by one, and focus on subduing Corpse Witches. I am also busy every day, riding Taotao, and when it goes to soak in the "Hell Magma Pool", I transform into a blood bat and return to the activity area of the Terror Knights to subdue the Terror Earth Dragon Knights, so as not to waste the newly acquired "blood transformation" ability.
After performing the "Blood Transformation", the basic mental power increased by 12%, from the original sixth-level second-order light blue to the sixth-level third-order medium blue, which was improved by more than one level. This made it much smoother to subdue the Horror Earth Dragon Knight. Generally, as long as the "Soul Contract" was performed a few times, the contract would be signed successfully, which was no longer as time-consuming and labor-intensive as before, which often took hundreds of times. Although it could only be performed twice a day, which only took an hour in total, it was no longer necessary to mobilize a large number of troops like before and command a group of subordinates to participate in the roundup. The noise was too loud and often attracted the interference of other Horror Knights, resulting in a lot of trouble. Now with the powerful Shaman as the main force, and the Blood Bat couple assigned to assist, a Horror Earth Dragon Knight could be quickly defeated. This small-scale battle would not attract the attention and interference of other Horror Knights at all, and the efficiency of subduing was greatly improved. Generally, one hour could subdue 10 to 20.
However, when the news that I became the fourth Witch King spread among the Undead Wizards, some powerful Undead Wizards were unwilling to be lonely and began to think about the Witch King. After all, after the Corpse King of the Zombie Clan and the Bone King of the Skeleton Archer Clan, the only Undead King who could be provoked and whose traces could be found at this stage was the Witch King of the Corpse Wizard Clan. Of course, challenging the Witch King can be said to be quite difficult. They can't be like me, which is equivalent to completing a professional task, getting accurate intelligence support, and making arrangements in advance, and then succeeding in killing the fourth Witch King with one strike. They don't know the specific location of the Witch King, so they can only search aimlessly in the territory of the Corpse Wizards. Moreover, in the "Dead Space", no Undead Wizard has the power to match me. Acting alone, the chance of success is very small. Even if you are lucky enough to bump into a Witch King, you may not have enough strength to kill him. Therefore, led by Qiu Shui Chang Tian and Tian Xing, with members including Ghost Husband, Night Bonfire and others, they gathered more than 30 powerful undead wizards from the east and south continents and organized a "Witch Killing Alliance" to act together to seize the position of the Witch King as soon as possible.
I don't know whether it was accidental or inevitable, but under the situation that the five Corpse Kings have always been under my control, and even if they were assigned to Xinbitiangao and others, they are still dominated by me to a certain extent, the five Bone Kings of the Skeleton Archer Clan all joined the "Witch Killing Association". The first Bone King is Qiu Shui Changtian, the second Bone King is Tianxing, the third Bone King is Night Bonfire, the fourth Bone King is Ghost Husband, and the fifth Bone King is Sahara. One is Qiu Shui Changtian, who is ambitious and wants to do something. The other is Tianxing, who is attached to the Desert Flying Eagle and covets the position of the Speaker of Long Xingtian's World Parliament. It seems that they want to unite to compete with me for control of the Corpse Witch Clan.
According to the news from the "informed sources", referring to the purpose of the establishment of the "Witch Killing Union", and the analysis made by insiders, Qiu Shui Chang Tian and Tian Xing were actually forced to do this by me. It was because they acted too late that I unified the zombie tribe in advance and occupied the position of the five corpse kings by myself, forcing other undead wizards to give up this place and challenge the five bone kings of the skeleton archer tribe. Fortunately, I was simple-minded at that time and did not really have the heart to dominate. I did not compete with them again, otherwise I am afraid they would have united to fight me. Now that they know that my "claws" have reached the corpse witch tribe again, and I have become the fourth witch king in an instant, how can they not be anxious? According to my usual strong performance, sooner or later I will start with the other three witch kings. If I delay any longer, blindly keep my troops in place and accumulate strength, I am afraid that the four witch kings will be monopolized by me again , and other undead wizards will have no chance.
